Conditions studied: Chronic Disease

In brief

The goal of this observational study is to learn what affects a person's openness to adopting a vegetarian diet in urban community members with chronic disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: How open are individuals to adopting a vegetarian diet? What are the barriers to adopting a vegetarian diet? Researchers will compare Black and White individuals to see if there are differences. Participants will be asked to fill out a survey about their openness to going vegetarian as well as barriers to going vegetarian such as perceived stigma, tastiness, financial cost, convenience, familiarity, and healthfulness.
