This article explores maternal dietary beliefs and practices gathered through interviews with mothers of infants and young children in Adivasi communities in the Nilgiris Biosphere Reserve, India. Guided by focused ethnographic study methods, interviews were conducted with 33 key informants. We used a cultural-ecological framework to analyze and interpret the texts that were elicited from women about dietary beliefs and eating patterns during pregnancy and lactation. We identify differences between what women were advised to eat, felt they should eat, and reported consuming. The findings offer guidance for interventions to improve maternal diets in this vulnerable population.
本文探讨了通过对印度尼尔吉里斯生物圈保护区阿迪瓦西社区婴幼儿母亲的访谈所收集到的孕产妇饮食观念和习惯。在重点民族志研究方法的指导下，对33名关键信息提供者进行了访谈。我们运用文化生态框架来分析和解读从女性那里引出的关于孕期和哺乳期饮食观念及饮食模式的文本。我们确定了女性被建议吃的、觉得自己应该吃的以及报告所食用的食物之间的差异。这些研究结果为改善这一弱势群体孕产妇饮食的干预措施提供了指导。
