About

Dana Lee Olstad is an Associate Professor with tenure at the University of Calgary, Canada. Her research areas focus on educational inequities related to diet quality, dietary intake disparities among various populations, and the impact of socioeconomic factors on health outcomes. Recent publications investigate the intersections of educational attainment, Indigenous identity, and race/ethnicity in dietary practices and the implications of food marketing on dietary habits among youth. Dr. Olstad's work aims to inform public health strategies and policy interventions addressing food insecurity and diet-related health issues.
