Sponsor's own description

Obesity is on the increase and black Africans in the United Kingdom (UK) make up a significant part of this population (32%). Weight retention after pregnancy is considered as one of the leading causes of obesity. African women living in high-income countries have been found to experience more weight retention after pregnancy than Caucasian women. Healthy eating guidelines have been provided in pregnancy in the UK (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) and midwives have been placed to provide healthy eating advice in pregnancy, but some studies have identified that African migrants in the UK often eat and prepare food in a different way to the traditional British approach. It has also been observed that the recommended advice for pregnant women, for example, the Eat well plate and start4life are focused on traditional British foods and cooking patterns and do not include food that would be familiar to African migrants. This may impact on the meaningfulness of such guidance to African women. Therefore, this research aims to understand what prevents healthy eating or makes healthy eating easier for pregnant African migrant women in the UK. This would include understanding how healthy eating is interpreted, the cultural factors that are considered important in healthy eating, the current sources of nutrition information and midwives view on providing healthy eating advice to this population. Eligibility * Pregnant African migrant women (18 and above) attending ante-natal clinics in NHS hospital sites. * Midwives who provide ante-natal advice to pregnant Africans Where Study sites will be hospitals covered by the Epsom and St Helier University trust, London North West University Healthcare National Health Service (NHS) trust and the Lewisham \& Greenwich NHS trusts. How: The study will involve one-on-one interviewing with pregnant women and midwives using hospital spaces provided by the hospital. Focus group discussions with midwives will be attempted depending on logistics. The interviews are expected to last about one hour to one and a half hours. Interview sessions will be audio-taped with the permission of the participants. Data collection is expected to last for 6 months.
