Asian and Pacific Islander Seafood Consumption Study
Asian and Pacific Islander Seafood Consumption Study (75 pp. 263, About PDF)
ABSTRACT
The primary purpose of this study was to describe Asian and Pacific Islander (API) seafood consumption rates, species, and seafood parts commonly consumed and cooking methods. This information is needed to allow the API community in the Pacific Northwest to determine what risks it may face from seafood and to balance such risks with the significant health and cultural benefits associated with seafood consumption. This study was a first step towards gathering necessary information for such a risk assessment. Study aims also included development of culturally appropriate health messages related to seafood consumption and the field testing of this information within the API community.
