Socioculturan influences on dietry behaviours of Black African women in High-income countries a systematic review.

Abstract

This chapter discusses the literature reviewed for the study. It is presented in two parts. The first part presents the justification for conducting a literature review in constructivist grounded theory. The chapter further explores pregnant women’s perspectives of the challenges and facilitators to healthy eating in pregnancy using a systematic literature search. It goes further to explore the gap in literature from the exploration of the challenges and facilitators to healthy eating in pregnancy. The second part of the chapter developed during the process of writing up after categories had emerged from the study. It focuses on the sociocultural influences on dietary behaviours for Black African women in high-income countries. This was necessary for comparison and situating the study within the existing literature.
