摘要
This study aims to understand how socioeconomic, geographic and cultural factors affect the food security status of Syrian refugee households in Quebec, Canada. Using a mixed methods study design, 49 households were assessed for their food security and socioeconomic status, followed by structured interviews with 35 households and 9 service providers. 52% of refugee households were food insecure, and although not significantly different, food insecurity was higher among privately sponsored refugee households in the Montreal area. Food insecurity appears mainly due to food access issues. Syrian refugees possess agricultural and cooking skills that could be beneficial in promoting community food security.
