Lucia Kaiser received her degree in Nutrition from UC Davis in
1989. Her research focuses on developing tools to evaluate
nutrition education.
In particular, she evaluates life skills education in transition
from welfare to work, and examines the impact of acculturation
and food security on the child-parent feeding relationship among
Latinos.
Kaiser develops nutrition education materials (fact sheets and
curricula) for use through the Expanded Food and Nutrition
Education Program (EFNEP) and other community programs. She also
presents nutrition topics at workshops and conferences throughout
the state, and writes a blog called “Maternal and Infant
Nutrition Briefs”.
Como la obesidad afecta más de un tercio de la población de
EE.UU.,[1] defensores de la salud pública—incluyendo la primera
dama Michelle Obama—han instado al público a “tomar más” agua en
vez de bebidas azucaradas. En una nueva investigación, apoyada
por el Center for Poverty Research, hemos concluido que agua
potable que es de baja calidad puede ser una barrera para reducir
el consumo de bebidas azucaradas en comunidades rurales de
inmigrantes de alta pobreza.
