This qualitative study explored how migrant-serving agencies and healthcare providers in Alberta can support migrants to maintain healthy eating patterns. Through semi-structured interviews, respondents provided insight on their experiences working with migrant populations in the community. Observations about dietary acculturation (including food access, unfamiliar food environments, and perceptions of common foods in Canada) point to nutrition information that may be relevant for migrants. Respondents provided recommendations, noting the importance of culturally appropriate services, visual education materials, and collaboration between healthcare providers and community workers. The collective knowledge presented here could be applied by those developing programming supports for migrant communities.
