A new opportunity is available for African-Americans looking to enhance their health and earn some extra money. The University of South Carolina is launching its “Diet Guidelines: 3 Diets” study this June at the Discovery I Building, located at the Arnold School of Public Health on Greene Street.
In an interview with Tyler Ryan, Briana Davis, the Assistant Project Manager, explained the motivation behind the study. Davis highlighted that African Americans, particularly those living in the Southern U.S., tend to have lower diet quality scores and face a disproportionate risk of chronic conditions such as Type 2 Diabetes and heart disease when compared to Whites and Hispanics.
