The study was conducted to understand fried-food (FF) consumption among Hispanic Caribbean (HC) communities in New York City. Data were collected through qualitative interviews with 23 adults self-identified as Cuban, Dominican, or Puerto Rican. Most informants considered FFs an important part of their traditional diet. Potential explanations included taste, cost, convenience, and the emotive values attached to FF. FF consumption was contextualized in local foodscapes. Results include strategies to diminish FF consumption and differences across HC groups and migratory generations. The relevance for future nutrition interventions addressing health disparities in this community is discussed.
本研究旨在了解纽约市西班牙裔加勒比（HC）社区的油炸食品（FF）消费情况。通过对23名自称古巴、多米尼加或波多黎各裔的成年人进行定性访谈收集数据。大多数受访者认为油炸食品是其传统饮食的重要组成部分。潜在原因包括口味、成本、便利性以及与油炸食品相关的情感价值。油炸食品消费在当地食物环境中得以体现。研究结果包括减少油炸食品消费的策略以及不同HC群体和移民代际之间的差异。本文还讨论了针对该社区健康差距的未来营养干预措施的相关性。
