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.
