Authors of articles accepted for publication in Annals of Global Health will be asked to pay an Article Publication Charge (APC) to cover publication costs. This charge can normally be sourced from your funder or institution. We are committed to supporting authors from all countries to publish their work in Annals of Global Health regardless of national income level, and to achieve this goal, we waive the Article Publication Charge for manuscripts where all authors are from low-income or lower-middle-income countries (as defined by the World Bank). From time to time, Annals of Global Health publishes Special Collections, a series of articles organized around a common theme in global health. Recent Special Collections have included “Strengthening Women’s Leadership in Global Health”, “Decolonizing Global Health Education”, and “Capacity Building for Global Health Leadership Training”. Global health workers interested in developing a Special Collection are strongly encouraged to contact the Managing Editor in advance to discuss the project.
Highlights
In 2010, Haiti was struck by a catastrophic earthquake that displaced millions of Haitians, forcing them to move to temporary resettlement camps that have since turned into permanent communities
There was a significant difference in the number of meals/day recalled six months prior to the earthquake (M 1⁄4 2.5, SD 1⁄4 0.67) compared to one month preceding the survey (M 1⁄4 1.9, SD 0.70); mean decrease 0.6, p < 0.0001
Interpretation: Our findings suggest that displaced Haitians living in permanent resettlement communities continue to struggle with food access and quality
Summary
In 2010, Haiti was struck by a catastrophic earthquake that displaced millions of Haitians, forcing them to move to temporary resettlement camps that have since turned into permanent communities. Jerusalem is a community of w30,000 displaced Haitians outside of Port-au-Prince. There is no running water or electricity, and there is limited access to medical care. Little is known about the diet of those who live in these communities. We aimed to better assess their nutritional status. We hypothesized that Haitians eat fewer meals per day following the earthquake
