Abstract
ABSTRACT Refugees resettled in a new country face a nutritional challenge due to difficulty in finding traditional foods and acculturation to the new diet. This preliminary study investigated prenatal nutritional practices among the Bhutanese refugee women resettled in Salt Lake City, Utah. Bhutanese women (n = 38) who have experienced pregnancy in the US were surveyed on practices influencing prenatal nutrition and care, food security issues, and cultural beliefs. Results from this study showed most women attending prenatal visits, eating a reasonably balanced diet – more vegetables and less meat, with a fasting rate of 10%.
