Abstract

ABSTRACT Palauan foodways have changed significantly over the last 100 years. Current nutritional norms in Palau have led to increased prevalence of nutrition-based noncommunicable disease. While generational change in Palauan foodways in the decades immediately following World War II has been documented, less attention has been paid to change since national independence. Parents, teachers, and students at Palauan elementary schools participated in focus groups designed to advance understanding of the current state of Palauan nutrition across generations at home, school, and elsewhere (including after-school snacks and ritual events). We document these perspectives and share Palauan ideas for improving local nutrition.
