Summary

Qualitative expert interviews in Indonesia found that health behaviors heightened during the COVID-19 pandemic were not sustained afterward, and that the pandemic may have worsened both nutritional inequalities and marine plastic pollution. The findings generate hypotheses for future quantitative research to guide policy responses.

Our findings reveal perceptions by informants that the increased awareness and adherence to health behaviors observed during the pandemic was not sustained. Our results also suggest that the pandemic may have exacerbated the double-burden paradox and marine pollution in Indonesia. This study offers information for generating hypotheses for quantitative studies to corroborate our findings and inform policies and programs to mitigate the long-term impacts of the COVID-19 on diets, health, and the marine environment in Indonesia.
