New research discussed by lead author Julie M. Wood, MHumNut, Graduate Researcher, Deakin University’s Institute for Physical Activity and Nutrition (Australia), found that refugees resettling in Australia face high rates of food insecurity, but most informational materials designed to support them are written at reading levels far too advanced for effective use to address their needs and many fail to consider cultural and linguistic diversity.
