“…Cree children had diets that were energy-dense and low in foods of high nutrient density such as fruits and vegetables. Similar observations have been made for children from other First Nations and American Indian communities (20,21) and might be due, in part, to the high cost of nutrientdense foods (13) . Cree children were at risk for Zn inadequacy and had intakes of vitamin D and Ca below the adequate intake, which confirms findings of low intakes of several micronutrients in Aboriginal communities in Canada (22,23) .…”

Objective: To explore the relationship among children's diet quality, weight status and food environment in subarctic Canada. Design: In the cross-sectional study, children's BMI was calculated, diet quality was assessed using three 24 h dietary recalls and children were asked about their home food environment and source of meals. Setting: Two Aboriginal Cree communities in northern Québec. Subjects: Two hundred and one children in grades 4-6. Results: The majority (64?2 %) of children were overweight (29?9 %) or obese (34?3 %). Weight status was not associated with reported restaurant meal frequency or the home food environment. The 18 % of children who consumed three or more restaurant meals in the three days of recall consumed, on average, 2004 kJ (479 kcal) more energy daily than children consuming no restaurant meals and had higher intakes of fat, saturated fat, Ca and soda. Most foods contributing to energy and dietary fat were energy-dense market foods of low nutritional value such as sweetened beverages and snack foods. Only 68 % of children reported often having fruits and vegetables in the home and 98?5 % of children consumed less than 5 fruits and vegetables daily. Many children (42?8 %) were at risk of Zn inadequacy. Only 19 % of children consumed 2 or more servings of milk daily, and the mean intakes of Ca and vitamin D were below the recommended adequate intake. Traditional game meat was consumed infrequently, but contributed significantly to Fe and Zn intake. Conclusions: Childhood obesity in subarctic communities prevailed in a food environment typified by high-energy-density commercial foods of low nutritional value. Keywords Nutrition environment Diet quality Aboriginal Childhood obesityOverweight and obesity is prevalent worldwide and increasing (1,2) , likely due to the dramatic changes in both lifestyle and environment. In recent decades there has been increased accessibility to restaurants and fast-food outlets and people are spending more of their disposable income on foods away from the home. Indeed, since the late 1970s, energy intake from restaurant meals/fast foods has increased by 91 % to 208 % for all age groups (3) ; as many as 25 % of Canadians and 30 % of Americans eat fast-food restaurant meals on any given day (3,4) . Meals served at restaurants and fast-food establishments are generally energy-dense (i.e. high in fat and sugar) and the portions served typically exceed recommended portion sizes (5) . As convenience becomes a priority in many households, home-cooked meals are being replaced with prepared or away-from-home foods (i.e. take-out foods, frozen entrees and pre-cooked, pre-packaged foods) (6)

“…Although using 24-hour recall as a comparison tool could be a source of error, it was tentatively assumed that the method gave a fairly accurate indication of urban Native American youths' dietary intakes. Results reported in this study are comparable to average intakes of total energy, carbohydrates, protein, and fat found for Native American Mohawk youth in another study (Trifonopoulous et al, 1998). We believe that assumptions about the accuracy of 24-hr recall were reasonable, but this should be viewed as a limitation of this report.…”

This study evaluated the appropriateness of the Kid's Block Food Frequency Questionnaire (Kid's Block FFQ) for use in a group of urban Native American youth by comparing it to a self-reported 24-hr recall. Subjects were 61 urban Native American youth, aged 9-13 years. Researchers assessed dietary intake using the two methods in random order on the same day. Analyses of diets revealed no significant difference between estimated total energy, protein, fat, and saturated fat between the two methods. Significant differences in estimations for the two tools occurred for carbohydrates and some micronutrients. Results suggest that the Kid's Block FFQ may be less appropriate than 24-hr recall in measuring the dietary intake of Native American youth. A high prevalence of obesity in this population necessitates more accurate dietary assessment tools for this population.

“…Since the project’s inception, many studies have attempted to evaluate the impact of KSDPP on the health status and lifestyles of residents in the community. These studies have shown mixed results in the areas of physical activity, nutrition, weight and rates of diabetes [ 47 – 51 ]. The present study applies social movement concepts to expand and enrich this examination by identifying intermediate outcomes of KSDPP in the area of community mobilization and change, dimensions that are viewed as highly relevant and meaningful by KSDPP stakeholders.…”

Understanding community-based participatory research through a social movement framework: a case study of the Kahnawake Schools Diabetes Prevention Project

et al. 2018

BackgroundA longstanding challenge of community-based participatory research (CBPR) has been to anchor evaluation and practice in a relevant theoretical framework of community change, which articulates specific and concrete evaluative benchmarks. Social movement theories provide a broad range of theoretical tools to understand and facilitate social change processes, such as those involved in CBPR. Social movement theories have the potential to provide a coherent representation of how mobilization and collective action is gradually developed and leads to systemic change in the context of CBPR. The current study builds on a social movement perspective to assess the processes and intermediate outcomes of a longstanding health promotion CBPR project with an Indigenous community, the Kahnawake Schools Diabetes Prevention Project (KDSPP).MethodsThis research uses a case study design layered on a movement-building evaluation framework, which allows progress to be tracked over time. Data collection strategies included document (scientific and organizational) review (n = 51) and talking circles with four important community stakeholder groups (n = 24).ResultsFindings provide an innovative and chronological perspective of the evolution of KSDPP as seen through a social movement lens, and identify intermediate outcomes associated with different dimensions of movement building achieved by the project over time (mobilization, leadership, vision and frames, alliance and partnerships, as well as advocacy and action strategies). It also points to areas of improvement for KSDPP in building its potential for action.ConclusionWhile this study’s results are directly relevant and applicable to the local context of KSDPP, they also highlight useful lessons and conclusions for the planning and evaluation of other long-standing and sustainable CBPR initiatives. The conceptual framework provides meaningful benchmarks to track evidence of progress in the context of CBPR. Findings from the study offer new ways of thinking about the evaluation of CBPR projects and their progress by drawing on frameworks that guide other forms of collective action.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s12889-018-5412-y) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
