To achieve equitable food systems that support healthy diets for all, the voices and lived experiences of people from diverse cultural backgrounds must be meaningfully included in decision\u2010making. This research aimed to understand Sub\u2010Saharan African (SSA) young people's experiences of food and nutrition and identify opportunities for culturally sensitive policies that can improve these experiences in Victoria, Australia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Design<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A qualitative approach, grounded in critical theory, experience\u2010based co\u2010design and the Social and Emotional Wellbeing framework, was employed to attain a policy\u2010relevant understanding of SSA young people's perspectives and engagement with food and nutrition in Australia.

Four overarching themes were identified describing (i) young people's experiences of cultural food shaping their identity but being difficult to access due to systemic barriers, (ii) food affordability and economic opportunities influencing community wellbeing, (iii) the mixed relevance of dominant food and nutrition policy priorities and (iv) the need for stronger government prioritisation of migrants and equity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This research identifies food as a critical determinant of health and wellbeing among SSA youth, serving not only as a cultural factor but also as a pathway for economic and social advancement. Mainstream food and nutrition policies do not fully address the priorities of SSA youth and opportunities exist to develop more culturally sensitive policy options. Additional efforts are required from the public health community to address discrimination across food systems, starting with better inclusion of multicultural experiences and voices in research, policy and practice.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/hpja.70234","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,14]],"date-time":"2026-08-14T00:21:23Z","timestamp":1786666883000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Bridging Voices Through Food: Sub\u2010Saharan African Young People's Perspectives of Food and Nutrition Policy in Victoria, Australia"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"37","author":[{"given":"Khalid","family":"Muse","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Health Transformation, Deakin Centre for Global Preventive Health and Nutrition, Deakin University  Geelong Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1022-3633","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ayuba","family":"Issaka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Health Transformation, Deakin Centre for Global Preventive Health and Nutrition, Deakin University  Geelong Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dheepa","family":"Jeyapalan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Victorian Health Promotion Foundation (VicHealth)  West Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nicola","family":"Miranda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Victorian Health Promotion Foundation (VicHealth)  West Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kevin","family":"Kapeke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Victorian Health Promotion Foundation (VicHealth)  West Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3323-575X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kathryn","family":"Backholer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Health Transformation, Deakin Centre for Global Preventive Health and Nutrition, Deakin University  Geelong Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Veronica","family":"Nunez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Victorian Health Promotion Foundation (VicHealth)  West Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9095-4059","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sally","family":"Schultz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Health Transformation, Deakin Centre for Global Preventive Health and Nutrition, Deakin University  Geelong Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6215-1849","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hannah","family":"Jongebloed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Health Transformation, Centre for Quality and Patient Safety, School of Nursing and Midwifery, Faculty of Health, Deakin University  Geelong Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-7712-6036","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chioma","family":"Anidi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Health Transformation, Deakin Centre for Global Preventive Health and Nutrition, Deakin University  Geelong Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7343-2424","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christina","family":"Zorbas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Health Transformation, Deakin Centre for Global Preventive Health and Nutrition, Deakin University  Geelong Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.vhri.2023.05.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1090198119867319"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12887-019-1845-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/pch\/pxx057"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","unstructured":"C.
