Patience Atitsogbey is a PhD Candidate at the Department of Nutrition and Food Science (NFS), University of Ghana (UG), Legon, under the supervision of Prof. Matilda Steiner-Asiedu and her doctoral supervisory committee members Prof. Agnes Budu (NFS, University of Ghana), Dr Emmanuel Kyereh (CSIR- Food Research Institute, Ghana) and Dr. George A. Annor (University of Minnesota, USA). Her doctoral research aims to explore and measure the effect of nutrition education on consumer behaviour towards using green leafy vegetables and legumes among households in the Accra Metropolitan Area and its linkage to iron and haemoglobin levels. The results will aid in nutrition policy planning and programming for poor communities in the Accra Metropolitan Area and Ghana. Patience has a Bachelor of Science degree in Community Nutrition from the University for Development Studies, Tamale and an MPhil in Nutrition from the University of Ghana, Legon. She also holds a certificate in Food Systems Transitions from the University of Stellenbosch, Institute of Sustainability, South Africa, and a food safety and nutrition certificate from the University of Leeds, UK. She is a Fellow of the African Climate Change Adaptation Initiative (ACCAI) and a UG- Nestle Scholar. Patience has gained her experience over the years by working and researching in poor communities in Ghana on nutrition, food security and climate change, food safety, and health. She aims to improve food and nutrition security and the overall health of households, specifically targeting men, women, adolescents’ girls, and children. As a QES Scholar, she aims to improve her research skills in quantitative and qualitative data analysis, enhance her leadership capacity, and acquire knowledge and skills to improve households’ livelihood in poor Ghanaian communities, which will be extremely useful for her research and future work. Patience looks forward to using this opportunity to network and collaborate with other researchers working in nutrition and health both locally and internationally. As a QEScholar, Patience will be collaborating with World Vision Ghana as her Research Placement Partner to develop a policy brief on strategies needed to address inequity in young child undernutrition in Ghana.
