Funding Information:
Our mixed-method approach was embedded in a previously planned, nationally representative, observational cross-sectional study called the Household Income and Expenditure Survey (HIES) (). The HIES is the equivalent to a Household Budget Survey, Household Expenditure and Consumption Survey, or a Living Standard Measurement Survey, which are generally conducted by all countries. The Pacific HIES is conducted by the Statistics Office of each national government, through technical and financial support from the Pacific Community (SPC), World Bank, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the International Labor Organization. The HIES collects information on household consumption and income, with the explicit purpose of estimating poverty and income distribution at national scales, and to rebase GDP and the basket of goods used in the calculation of the Consumer Price Index.
Funding Information:
We are grateful for the financial support of the National Science Foundation (CNH 1826668), in-kind support from the Dharma Platform of BAO Systems, and the leveraged funding from the Pacific Community (SPC) to collaborate with the Government of Kiribati on their Household Income and Expenditure Survey (HIES). MS was funded by the Australian Government through Australian Center for International Agricultural Research (FIS/2018/155).

N2 - The Kiribati 2019 Integrated Household Income and Expenditure Survey (Integrated HIES) embeds novel ecological and human health research into an ongoing social and economic survey infrastructure implemented by the Pacific Community in partnership with national governments. This study seeks to describe the health status of a large, nationally representative sample of a geographically and socially diverse I-Kiribati population through multiple clinical measurements and detailed socio-economic surveys, while also conducting supporting food systems research on ecological, social, and institutional drivers of change. The specific hypotheses within this research relate to access to seafood and the potential nutritional and health benefits of these foods. We conducted this research in 21 of the 23 inhabited islands of Kiribati, excluding the two inhabited islands—Kanton Islands in the Phoenix Islands group with a population of 41 persons (2020 census) and Banaba Island in the Gilbert Islands group with a population of 333 persons (2020 census)—and focusing exclusively on the remaining islands in the Gilbert and Line Islands groups. Within this sample, we focused our intensive human health and ecological research in 10 of the 21 selected islands to examine the relationship between ecological conditions, resource governance, food system dynamics, and dietary patterns. Ultimately, this research has created a baseline for future Integrated HIES assessments to simultaneously monitor change in ecological, social, economic, and human health conditions and how they co-vary over time.
