An original approach was used to examine how staple food choice differs by gender and migration: this consisted of a quantitative survey (six locations with urban consumers from various economic classes (n = 123)), a qualitative in-depth interview with a subset of those consumers (n = 18), and focus group discussions (n = 13). Men and women had similar results in terms of their preferred staple food choice attributes; yet women indicated consuming more rice and banana, and men, more maize and cassava (Chi-squared test; < .05). Migration status and life stage (formative or adult years) also influenced the type and diversity of staple crops reported.
这包括一项定量调查（在六个地点对来自不同经济阶层的城市消费者（n=123）进行调查）、对其中一部分消费者进行深入的定性访谈（n=18）和焦点小组讨论（n=13）。男性和女性在主食选择偏好的属性方面具有相似的结果；然而，女性表示食用更多的大米和香蕉，而男性则食用更多的玉米和木薯（卡方检验；<0.05）。移民身份和生活阶段（形成期或成年期）也影响了所报告的主食作物的类型和多样性。
