Description
This microlearning examines the high prevalence of iron deficiency among refugee and immigrant populations in Canada, highlighting a significant gender disparity where 25% of female refugees are affected compared to less than 1% of males. You will explore research from inner-city clinics showing that over half of newcomer children suffer from deficiency and analyze why Western-centric dietary guidelines may fail to meet diverse cultural needs. By integrating expert insights on adapting nutritional counseling to traditional food staples, this module—part of our Iron Deficiency Microlearning Series—helps you bridge the gap between clinical data and inclusive care.
