Brief Summary

The RISE project aims to understand how future climate change may compromise traditional food systems (TFS) by altering related human-nature interactions. A comparative case study approach coupling on-site socioeconomic, nutritional, and ecological surveys of the target indigenous socioecological systems (ISES) of Karen (Kanchanaburi, Thailand) and Sakha (Republic of Sakha, Russian Federation) people with statistical models projecting future changes in the distribution and composition of traditional food species under contrasting climate change scenarios.

Conditions

Nutrition, Healthy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Dietary intake assessment (24-hour dietary recall)

  The 24-hour dietary recall interview will be conducted on a single day in both rainy and dry seasons. The resulting data will be analyzed for energy and nutrient intakes using the INMUCAL Nutrients v4 program (INMU, Thailand). Differences in nutritional composition between traditional and market food will be investigated.

  1 month

• Dietary intake assessment (food frequency questionnaire (FFQ))

  A food frequency questionnaire or checklist of specific food items will be developed to determine seasonal food consumption patterns. Data collection will be conducted in both rainy and dry seasons.

  1 month

Study Population

The indigenous group of Karen people stays in Thungyai - Huai Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary, the area in the west of Kanchanaburi Province. The population data of the two villages, Saneaphong and Koh Sadueng, were surveyed in 2021. Three aspects of nutritional assessment will compose of three groups of local people according to age range, including (i) school-aged children (6 - 12 y), (ii) adults (19 - 59 y), and (iii) elderly (60 y and over). The population of Saneaphong and Koh Sadueng were 696 and 262 people, respectively. Then the sample size in each village was calculated using the Taro Yamane formula, 1973.

You may qualify if:

• School-aged children 6-12 years old who are the Karen living in Laiwo Subdistrict, Sangkhlaburi District, Kanchanaburi Province, Thailand
• Working adults 19-59 years old
• who are the Karen living in Laiwo Subdistrict, Sangkhlaburi District, Kanchanaburi Province, Thailand
• with no history of mental illness that has been diagnosed by a doctor, such as schizophrenia, delusional psychosis, bipolar disorder, acute mental illness, psychosis caused by physical disease, and psychosis caused by various substances or drugs.

You may not qualify if:

• Participants who are seriously ill, such as accidents, symptoms from underlying diseases, or other diseases during the data collection are unable to conduct an interview.
