Background Obesity has been identified as an emerging health concern for Chinese American children; however, very little is known about diets in Asian American children. Objective To assess the feasibility of assessing diet of urban Chinese American children in an applied (school) setting and to gain insight on diet and drivers of dietary intakes from community nutrition experts. Design Data were from the Food Journal Project 2017, a school-based pilot study conducted by a multi-sector collaboration, and qualitative data from nutrition and community experts. Participants/Setting Children aged 8-12 (n=83) completed two dietary assessments using a food diary from January-June 2017. Children were then interviewed using the food diary as a guide; dietary data were entered into the ASA24 system by study staff. Chinese American children were compared to non-Chinese peers with respect to nutrient intake and the Healthy Eating Index 2010 (HEI-2010). Six semi-structured interviews and one panel discussion including two registered dietitians and community leaders with working knowledge of the Chinese American community were conducted from January-June 2018. Main Outcome Measures Nutrient intake and HEI-2010 scores. Statistical Analyses Performed Chi-squared and t-test comparisons, with statistical significance set at α=0.05. Results Adjusted for caloric intake, Chinese American children consumed 20% more sodium, 21% more protein but 27% less sugar compared to non-Chinese children. With regards to the HEI-2010, Chinese American children had less favorable whole grains and sodium scores; and more favorable seafood protein and empty calories scores compared to non-Chinese children. Qualitative data underscored the current burden of diet-related health disparities among Chinese American children and suggested Chinese American receptivity to family-based nutritional and cooking education interventions. Conclusions Sodium reduction and increasing whole grain intakes may be warranted in Chinese American children but should be verified with additional studies. Interventions to improve nutrition in this understudied population are critical.

Objective: The food retail environment is an important determinant of food access and the ability to achieve a healthy diet. However, immigrant communities may procure their food in different ways than the mainstream population owing to preferences for specific cultural products or limited English language proficiency. The objective of this analysis was to describe the grocery shopping patterns and behaviours of one of the largest immigrant groups in New York City, Chinese Americans – a group experiencing high poverty and cardio-metabolic disparities. Design: Cross-sectional survey data. Setting: Community-based sample. Participants: Self-identified Chinese Americans in the New York metropolitan area (n 239). Results: Three shopping patterns were identified: type 1: shopped weekly at an ethnic grocery store – and nowhere else; type 2: shopped weekly at a non-ethnic grocery store, with occasional shopping at an ethnic store and type 3: did not perform weekly shopping. Type 1 v. type 2 shoppers tended to have lower education levels (37·5 v. 78·0 % with college degree); to be on public insurance (57·6 v. 22·8 %); speak English less well (18·4 v. 41·4 %); be food insecure (47·2 v. 24·2 %; P < 0·01 for all) and to travel nearly two miles further to shop at their primary grocery store (β = −1·55; 95 % CI −2·81, −0·30). Discussion: There are distinct grocery shopping patterns amongst urban-dwelling Chinese Americans corresponding to demographic and sociocultural factors that may help inform health interventions in this understudied group. Similar patterns may exist among other immigrant groups, lending preliminary support for an alternative conceptualisation of how immigrant communities interact with the food retail environment.

“…To examine the MoM of regulatory sandboxes, this study used ACI, which analyzes policies focusing on interactions among actors. The application of ACI determines the institutional settings that affect the policies and examines how actors interact with different preferences and value systems under the constraints of institutional settings [19][20][21][22][23][24] to better explain the complicated aspects of the process of implementing regulatory sandboxes.…”

To determine the micro-operating mechanism(MoM) of enterprises participating in the regulatory sandbox policy in fintech, this study analyzes the structure of enterprise innovation competencies and derives relevant implications. The results reveal that large, middle-standing, and small and medium-sized enterprises focus on security, infrastructure, and user-related technology development, respectively, to enhance their innovation competencies. The security-related issues considered by large enterprises entail relatively high costs in initial technology development and are closely related to infrastructure building. Large enterprises are focused on developing overall security-related technologies, whereas middle-standing enterprises are striving to develop infrastructure-related technologies, with particular emphasis on elementary technologies. Small and medium-sized enterprises are also making efforts to develop user-centered technologies that can directly be used in fintech. As a method to implement regulatory sandboxes tailored to the needs of participating enterprises in South Korea, this study will help to determine the MoM of such participants and establish strategies to support them sustainably in terms of evidence-based policy.
