Changes in the food and drink consumption patterns of Australian women during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Objective: This paper uses data from the seventh fortnightly Coronavirus (COVID-19) Survey sent to women in the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health to investigate the relationship between the COVID-19 pandemic and the food and drink consumption of women born in 1946-51, 1973-78 and 1989-95.

Thematic qualitative analysis was conducted on comments about changes in consumption, and basic quantitative analysis was included for context.
