| dc.description | Poor diet has been identified as a major risk factor contributing to rising NCD incidence rates in Samoa – yet the factors driving poor dietary outcomes are poorly understood. Using data from Samoa’s Household Income and Expenditure Survey (2013), this brief establishes the average intake of nutrients (Calories, fat, protein, vitamin A, iron and sodium) central to an adequate diet, and which households are most at risk. It identifies the food items contributing most to current nutrition outcomes and makes recommendations regarding which food items could assist Samoan households to satisfy their dietary requirements in the most cost effective way. This information is to design to help policy-makers design interventions most effective at improving dietary outcomes in Samoa. | |
