Student Perspectives on Food Safety Communication to Vulnerable Demographics in Dietetics

Abstract

This study explores the perceptions of dietetics students regarding food safety communication to vulnerable populations. Understanding their attitudes, knowledge, and approaches is crucial for developing effective public health strategies. Utilizing a qualitative approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted to gather insights from students. Preliminary findings reveal diverse perspectives, with emphasis on culturally tailored messaging, community engagement, and challenges such as language barriers and limited resources. Strategies identified include leveraging social networks, multimedia approaches, and collaboration with community organizations. These insights highlight the complexity of food safety communication to vulnerable demographics and underscore the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and culturally sensitive approaches. By understanding student perspectives, public health practitioners can develop targeted strategies to promote food safety and improve health outcomes in underserved communities.
