Hello all, my name is Lan Hoang, a nutritionist/dietitian from Vietnam.https://www.linkedin.com/in/lan-ngoc-hoang/It is great to see two registered dietitian professors today. I studied nutrition and dietetics in Australia and did an MPH in the USA. I am interested to pursue further study in the field.

I’m Elham Ali, a doctoral student in health equity focusing on just community-led food systems

Welcome Elham Ali. Please let us know where you are from and where you are studying. Thank you for joining today.

The women themselves are empowered though our research methods and data collection. We ask women to identify health/nutrition issues that are meaningful to them and work with them collaboratively to design interventions that work in their communities. We also use a CBPR approach where the women are part of the research team to collect and analyze and interpret the data.

Question for Teresa Wagner: My colleagues and I do diabetes nutrition education work in American Indian communities. Many rural, reservation communities do not have Registered Dieticians (RD) and so we plan to test a CHW model. Have you run into any concerns about the ability of CHWs to conduct nutrition education, in absence of an RD?

Hi Angela, We actually have trained CHWs and lay health workers to provide education in rural communities for that very reason. I’m an RD and helped with the nutrition content. We also have frequent check-ins to answer questions or help with any issues that would require an RD. So, that's one model. I'd be happy to discuss more: teresa.wagner@unthsc.edu

Thank you, Teresa. I would be delighted to hear more about your model. I'll reach out to you in the coming days.

Effect of marketing and algorithms on quality of health information online?

@Ngoc Lan Hoang absolutely! I encourage you to pursue further study! Please let me know if I can offer any assistance.

Market forces play very impactful role on the nutrition related issues how health literacy can bring them for a healthy output?

I also want to add that the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics in the US does include cultural competency in their required learning objectives. It's not comprehensive, but it's a start!

Many thanks to all the speakers!
