摘要
We assessed diet quality and documented food-related behaviors of gatekeepers in homeless families with children in Hawaii. The dietary intake of gatekeepers residing in shelters (n = 44) was compared to that of gatekeepers living at beach parks (n = 13). The gatekeeper completed a 24-hour diet recall and answered questions about demographics and food-related behaviors. Diets were low in fiber, calcium, and vitamin A, did not vary significantly with shelter status, and were consistent with the diets of Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) participants in Hawaii. We concluded that both homeless groups would benefit from educational efforts similar to those used with EFNEP clients, with a greater focus on food safety, alternate food resources, and appropriate cooking methods.
