Nutrition and Precision Health Equity for Black People in Canada
Summary
We are doing a Canada-wide survey to learn about the nutrition and health of Black adults living in Canada. We want to understand what helps or makes it harder for Black people to eat well and stay healthy, including access to healthy and culturally familiar foods, food affordability, physical activity, sleep, and access to healthcare. We will also ask about everyday experiences that may affect health, such as stress or unfair treatment.
The information you share will help researchers and community partners better understand the needs and priorities of Black communities and support future programs, services, and policies that improve health and nutrition for Black people in Canada. The survey takes about 25–30 minutes to complete, and participants will receive a $25 gift card as a thank-you for their time.
