ABSTRACT The Banglatown area of Hamtramck, Michigan is home to Bangladeshi Americans (26% of the population) and has a 49.1% poverty rate. There are no supermarkets in Hamtramck; however, there are many small food stores. The NEMS-CS tool was used to assess 21 food stores. Of the stores surveyed, 33% of offered 3 or more fruits and vegetables. Thirty-six percent offered brown rice and almost half offered dried legumes. Stores scored poorly on all three categories included in the NEMS-CS score: availability, quality, price. Results of the study contribute to the knowledge base about healthy food availability in urban Bangladeshi communities.

ABSTRACT This study is a secondary assessment of data from a multi-state project called Voices for Food. The purpose was to determine facilitators and barriers to community stakeholders’ (n = 171) and food pantry clients’ (n = 612) engagement with food policy councils (FPCs) among rural Midwestern communities. Quantitative and qualitative data from surveys were examined across three data collection time points (baseline = 0, midpoint = 24, and post = 36 months). In addition to determining the sectors represented in council membership, barriers to and facilitators of participation in the council were identified. This information can be used to engage all types of community members in FPC work.

ABSTRACT Institutions such as hospitals and schools waste approximately seven to eleven billion pounds of food annually in the US. Food composting can be utilized to divert food waste from entering landfills. This study explored behaviors and perceptions of staff and management involved in a composting intervention at a local hospital through the Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) theory. The importance of management involvement, organizational and institutional buy-in, proper education and training, and consistent follow-up were discussed. Different dimensions of compatibility, relative advantage, complexity, trialability, and observability of the composting intervention were identified by participants as contributing to the intervention implementation.

ABSTRACT To explore how older adults in rural communities navigate food insecurity, ten focus groups were held in Indiana, USA with 65 discussants. Recordings underwent inductive qualitative data analysis. Driving and transport remain a barrier to rural food access. Living alone is another contributor to food insecurity, while older adults’ social networks are protective. Congregate meal sites are critical to maintaining nutrition and are underfunded; one-third of this region’s meal sites closed in 2019. These must be maintained and expanded. Transportation to food outlets is needed. Mechanisms that reinforce older adults’ social networks can build upon an existing asset.

ABSTRACT This study assessed the prevalence and predictors of not eating lunch on school days among Canadian children using dietary data from the 2015 Canadian Community Health Survey-Nutrition (n = 2,991 children aged 6–17 years). On a given school day, more than 1 in 20 students reported eating no lunch. Students were more likely to miss lunch if they were older, lived in a food insecure household, or smoked. Sex, ethnicity, income and weight status were not associated with lunch consumption. Future research is needed to fully understand the frequency, causes and consequences of missing lunch on school days in Canada.

ABSTRACT This research examines food security using actual prices paid by a large panel of U.S. households of consumer-packed goods across seven store formats (e.g., grocery stores, drug stores, and convenience stores). Adjusted for household size and income, the percent of budget spent by three affluency groups (lower, moderate, and higher) found similar spending ratios at the two largest store formats, grocery and mass discounters. Low-income households paid significantly less overall and paid significantly lower prices in three of the four most shopped store formats. The findings suggest poorer consumers are more food secure than previously believed.

ABSTRACT This exploratory study aimed at investigating the perceptions of the youth regarding the summer food environment using photovoice methodology. A 4-week summer food education program. Eleven youth, 13–18 years were recruited, and 5 (45%) students completed the study. Participants received one of each: introduction to photovoice, disposable camera, logbook, handout of photography tips, and photo release forms followed by participation in a focus group. The naturalized approach was utilized to transcribe and analyzed using grounded theory. Seven themes emerged, including improved availability of and access to healthier, affordable food supply and an improved food environment.

ABSTRACT The study explored parental attitudes and beliefs concerning child involvement in meal preparation, and sending healthy packed lunches to schools. Focus groups (n = 6) and demographic surveys were completed with 27 parents who packed their elementary child’s lunch at least twice a week. Qualitative thematic analysis of transcripts using inductive and deductive approaches were completed. Perceived benefits of packing lunches included food quality, control, and safety. Perceived barriers to involving children in decisions included a child’s attitude, time, mess, and cost. Parents believe child-friendly cookbooks, professional nutrition guidance, and child-inclusive cooking classes are beneficial to support healthy meals.
