Change in traditional culinary culture with migration 2.06

Welcome to the official Facebook page of La Trobe University’s study on migration and culinary culture. CRICOS provider number: 00115M, NSW 02218K

Purpose of the research?
The purpose of this research project is to identify to what extent Turkish migrants and second generation Turkish-Australians, living in Australia, are following a traditional diet and lifestyle, and to determine what factors influence this.

Who are we looking for?
Turkish-Australians, aged eighteen years and over, who were born in Turkey, or have a parent or parents who were born in Turkey.

What will you be asked to do?
You will be asked to complete one questionnaire that will take approximately 25 minutes to complete.

Benefits of the research?
The importance of understanding influences on food choice is significant to promoting better health since diet is a major risk factor for many common population health problems, including heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and obesity. The importance of how resilient migrants are to certain host country/regional foods is important. The project is aimed at gaining information about the food pathways people take when they arrive in another region/country. The results of the research will be communicated through written articles, presentations at conferences, and research reports/thesis.
