Research Designs to Account for Diversity and Inclusiveness and Impact Food Guidance Policy

This activity focuses on the consideration of diversity and inclusion when conducting research to inform and implement food and nutrition guidance policy. For the purposes of this activity, food guidance policy includes the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) and the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. The activity reviews how the evidence base is considered in food guidance policy development and then turn to discussions on research design protocols that incorporate diversity and inclusiveness, such as the use of community-based participatory research. The activity also highlights research considerations for implementing food guidance policy among diverse and minority populations.

This activity was organized by ASN's Committee on Advocacy and Science Policy (CASP) and the Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Access Committee (IDEA). This activity is part of the CASP Nutrition Policy Webinar series, designed to help ASN members better understand the interface between research and nutrition policy.
