By 2050, the non-White population is predicted to approximate 50% of the US population. If you want to provide EXCEPTIONAL (not good, not average) nutrition services to clients who are culturally different, then these strategies are for you. Culturally different clients have ethnic food beliefs, theories of disease causation, foodways, and communication norms. There are major differences between traditional and cross-cultural dietary assessment, anthropometric assessment, nutrient analysis, nutrition education and counseling, nutrition program planning. This book provides step-by-step guidelines on how to connect with culturally different clients and how to meet their learning and cultural needs as stand-alone chapters.
