We examined whether dietary intake differs across household and child food security (FS) status, and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participation among Black children (ages 9-15) in a low-income urban setting. This cross-sectional survey used the USDA 18-item Household Food Security Survey, that includes the 8-item Child Module, and a validated FFQ to assess children's diet (n=451). Nutrient intake differed across child FS status, but not household FS. SNAP participation was associated with better micronutrient intake (vitamin D and calcium) among food secure children. Assessing child-specific FS and nutrient adequacy clarifies children's actual experience and informs child-targeted policies.

Native Americans (NA) have higher obesity rates compared to other populations. Employed adults spend a significant amount of time at work. OPREVENT2, an obesity prevention trial in 6 NA communities, included a worksite component that incorporated nutrition and physical activity educational media, competitions, tastes tests, and coffee station makeovers. Process evaluation results indicate a well-implemented worksite component based on team standards. Statistically significant improvements of coffee stations healthy offerings (p=0.006), but none in health policies and resources, were observed. Partnering with businesses to create healthier working environments was successful and future trials should investigate the effects on an individual level.

ABSTRACTHaving valid measures of college student FI is essential for justifying basic-needs services for students. But college student food insecurity (FI) rates vary significantly across institutions, perhaps partially due to differences in non-response bias resulting from participant recruitment strategies. We tested for effects of recruitment method on measured levels of college student FI at three time points (2020, 2021, 2022). Survey response rates varied dramatically across recruitment modalities. Higher FI rates were estimated in low-response-rate survey deliveries. Emailed surveys appear to inflate estimates of student FI. Efforts to increase response rates likely produce more valid estimates of college student FI.KEYWORDS: College food insecuritysample biasresponse biassurvey recruitment AcknowledgementsThe authors wish to thank the students who participated in this study, the Office of the Dean of Students for authorization to conduct the survey on campus and for funding student and faculty researchers.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis project was funded by the Office of the Dean of Students at the “Main Campus”.

ABSTRACTThis qualitative study was designed to explore contributing factors to and consequences of college students’ food and housing insecurity as well as protective factors for retention. We conducted an inductive thematic analysis of interviews with 13 demographically diverse students at a public university who had experienced recent food insecurity and/or homelessness. Results revealed themes of the dynamic experiences of food and housing insecurity, the interplay of these with transportation, and risk and protective factors contributing to their resilience as indicated by persistence in college. We provide policy and practice recommendations based on the findings and directions for future research.KEYWORDS: College student food insecuritycollege student homelessnessstudent well-being AcknowledgementsWe extend our gratitude to the individuals who participated in this study by openly sharing their personal challenges and triumphs as college students. We also acknowledge Indira Gutierrez, Paige Swanson, Shivani Surati, and Brandon Garrick for their assistance with data collection as interviewers and Anna Gillespie and Hailey Bramley for their assistance with transcribing.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data sharing statementThe data that support the findings of this study are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request.

ABSTRACTNearly 10% of older adults reported food insecurity in 2021. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) aims to reduce food insecurity by providing low-income households with benefits to purchase food. Twenty-one older adults discussed their experiences with SNAP during three focus groups. Thematic analysis indicated that benefits were appreciated but insufficient. Participants identified challenges to applying, using, and maintaining benefits in part due to age-related limitations. The results provide evidence that improved nutrition among older adults will require increasing benefit amounts, reducing paperwork, and easing restrictions on the use of benefits to purchase prepared foods.KEYWORDS: Older adultssupplemental nutrition assistance programfocus groups AcknowledgementsThis research was supported in part by a grant from the Tufts Health Plan Foundation.

ABSTRACTFood insecurity is a major social determinant of health (SDH). However, further research is needed on the associations between SDH and diet among individuals living in urban food deserts. We designed a pilot study to examine the associations between diet and seven measures of SDH. Forty-five participants were enrolled in the study and were scheduled for an in-person or telephone interview. Food insecurity was significantly associated with greater intakes of fast food and refined grains. Employment was significantly associated with higher intake of alcohol. Findings from this pilot study confirm the importance of examining SDH in relation to diet.KEYWORDS: Dietfood insecuritysocial determinants of healthhealthy food environmenturban food desertshealth disparities Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Abbreviations USDA FI=USDA U.S. Household Food Security Survey ModuleJHS-FFQ=Jackson Heart Study Short Food Frequency QuestionnaireWIC=Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and ChildrenSNAP=Supplemental Nutrition Assistance ProgramAuthor ContributionsA.D. designed the study; A.D., T.B. and S.K. conducted the study; A.D., S.R. and R.K. analyzed data; A.D. and S.T. interpreted results and tables; A.D. prepared initial draft of manuscript; T.B., S.K., L.W., C.A., K.L.T. and S.T. edited and revised manuscript.

ABSTRACTFood insecurity exists when households do not have physical, social and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food that meets their dietary needs and food preferences. Food insecurity remains a serious challenge for many households in Vietnam and the situation is even more prevalent among rural smallholders. Therefore, this study aims to assess the food insecurity status according to rural households’ profile and present better intervention strategies for policy makers to reduce food insecurity among rural households in Vietnam.KEYWORDS: Socioeconomic factorindigenous peoplerural householdVietnam AcknowledgementsWe would like to express our sincere thanks to the Aus4Skills program from the Australian government for their generous support to conduct this work under grant No. AAGF-R3-00060.

ABSTRACTFood insecurity and transportation inequity are known to disproportionately impact the welfare of marginalized communities. Our study analyzed census data in Harris County, Texas comparing food insecurity rate and components of the Quality Affordable Transportation Index to explore their relationship. Mapping, geographically weighted regression (GWR), and linear regression methods were used to identify relationships between food insecurity and transportation. Poor walkability is more commonly associated with food insecure areas than is poor public transit in Harris County. GWR helped to identify an area of strong correlation between walkability and food insecurity in southwestern Harris County that may benefit from further study.KEYWORDS: Food insecuritytransportationsocial determinants of healthfood desertsspatial regression AcknowledgementsOur team would like to thank LINK Houston, The Kinder Institute for Urban Research at Rice University, and Feeding America for providing the data used in the study.

众所周知，粮食不安全和运输不平等对边缘社区的福利产生了不成比例的影响。我们的研究分析了德克萨斯州哈里斯县的人口普查数据，比较了食品不安全率和质量负担得起的交通指数的组成部分，以探索它们之间的关系。采用制图、地理加权回归(GWR)和线性回归方法确定粮食不安全与运输之间的关系。与哈里斯县糟糕的公共交通相比，糟糕的步行性更常与食品不安全地区联系在一起。GWR帮助确定了哈里斯县西南部的步行性和粮食不安全之间的强烈相关性，这可能会从进一步的研究中受益。关键词:食品不安全运输健康食品沙漠的社会决定因素空间回归我们的团队要感谢LINK Houston, Rice University Kinder Institute for Urban Research和Feeding America为研究提供的数据。我们还要感谢Shivani Mehta在文献综述方面的帮助。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。

ABSTRACTThis online, cross-sectional study examined food insecurity and sleep quality among pregnant/recently pregnant women (N = 486). The prevalence of food insecurity was highest among emerging adults (69%), followed by young adults (57%) and middle-aged adults (31%). In adjusted models, emerging and young adults had 2.42 (1.19, 4.97) and 2.62 (1.60, 4.37) times the odds of food insecurity compared to middle-aged adults. Individuals reporting low food security (−0.29 [−0.44, −0.13]) and very low food security (−0.61 [−0.80, −0.41]) had lower sleep quality compared to individuals reporting food security. Emerging adult mothers are at risk of food insecurity and associated low sleep quality.KEYWORDS: Food securityyoung adultnutritionpregnancysleepage Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis study was funded by the George Washington University Center of Excellence in Maternal and Child Health under Grant No T76MC35370 from the Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) Maternal and Child Health Bureau.

ABSTRACT The study objectives were to pilot approaches to examine plate waste and explore plate waste patterns by delivery style (pre-assembled trays versus multi-offering tray line with Offer Versus Serve (OVS)) at United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) sites. Mean plate waste in the USDA SFSP was highest for vegetables (70.9% wasted), followed by meat/meat alternate (56.0%), fruit (47.9%), grains (48.9%), and milk (41.0%). The amount of food wasted was consistently higher when meals were delivered on pre-assembled trays versus multi-offering tray line with OVS. Findings from this study provide initial insights into overall plate waste patterns at USDA SFSP sites and potential implications for waste by delivery style.
