Title
Evaluation of Dietary Intervention and Pregnancy Outcomes among Food Insecure Women Attending the Montreal Diet Dispensary Program
Abstract
Since 1950, the Montreal Diet Dispensary has been aiming to reduce health inequalities among pregnant women with low socio-economic status through a nutritional support program called the Higgins’ intervention. In the past, the intervention was shown to be successful in reducing the rate of low-birth weight (LBW) as well as preterm births (PTB). The objective of the author’s thesis was to conduct an outcome evaluation of the Higgins’ intervention in a changing demographic population predominantly composed of visible minority and newly immigrated women.
