Abstract

Changements alimentaires chez des réfugiés africains à Genève: une évaluation brève afin d’orienter des interventions nutritionnelles Objectifs: Evaluer les changements et problèmes alimentaires perçus par des réfugiés africains, dans le but de développer des interventions d’éducation nutritionnelle appropriées. Méthodes: Etude transversale qualitative au sein d’un échantillon de convenance. Les modifications de l’alimentation rapportées comme liées à la migration ont été recensées, groupées et comparées. Résultats: Dix-neuf interviews ont été analysées. Après la migration, les principaux changements alimentaires étaient la réduction du nombre de fruits et légumes différents consommés hebdomadairement de 10 à 2, et de 17 à 10 respectivement. Le nombre de répondants consommant des boissons sucrées plus de 3 fois par semaine est passé de 3 à 18. Des raisons de prix, de goût et d’accessibilité étaient évoquées pour expliquer ces changements. Conclusion: Ces changements alimentaires pourraient avoir des conséquences sanitaires sérieuses. Des interventions simples basées sur les suggestions des répondants devraient être envisagées. Copyright Birkhäuser Verlag, Basel 2005
