ABSTRACT This cross-sectional descriptive study utilized spatial statistics to test for hot/cold spots of SNAP under-participation in Texas. First, we estimated the percentage of SNAP eligible but not enrolled (EBNE) households, by census tract. Next, we utilized the Anselin’s Local Moran’s I statistic to identify statistically significant hot/cold spots of SNAP EBNE tracts throughout Texas and in Harris County. We found that hot spot census tracts had significantly higher densities, income levels, and lower poverty rates than other census tracts. Using spatial statistics to identify hot/cold spots of SNAP under-participation offers a novel method for understanding area SNAP utilization.
本横断面描述性研究利用空间统计来检验德克萨斯州参与SNAP的热点/冷点。首先,我们按人口普查区估计了SNAP合格但未登记(EBNE)家庭的百分比。接下来,我们利用Anselin 's Local Moran 's I统计数据来确定整个德克萨斯州和哈里斯县SNAP EBNE区域的统计显著热点/冷点。我们发现,热点人口普查区的人口密度、收入水平和贫困率明显高于其他人口普查区。利用空间统计方法识别参与SNAP的热点/冷点,为了解区域SNAP利用情况提供了一种新的方法。

ABSTRACT This study tested a pricing manipulation strategy in a small grocery store to assess the impact on food sales. The prices of 35 healthy foods were decreased over time while simultaneously increasing the prices of 45 unhealthy foods. Trends in sales were examined across each manipulation period. Total sales of healthy foods remained relatively stable over time, indicating that total quantity sold increased. In contrast, total sales of unhealthy foods generally declined during the study period, indicating that total quantity sold decreased. In this store, we found that healthy and unhealthy foods may be sensitive to pricing manipulation strategies.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to examine implementation of serving food and beverage evidence-based practices (nutrition EBPs) across CACFP participating licensed childcare centers (CCCs, n = 51) and family childcare homes (FCCHs, n = 49) in central California. Results indicated that FCCHs reported significantly higher (p < .05) implementation of nutrition EBPs and barriers than CCCs. Both CCCs and FCCHs refer families to WIC/SNAP when they observe child food insecurity and control how much food is served to children. It is important to consider organizational structure (CCCs, FCCHs) and child food insecurity when developing policies/interventions for improving implementation of nutrition EBPs in ECEs.
本研究的目的是检查加州中部CACFP参与的持证托儿中心(CCCs, n = 51)和家庭托儿之家(FCCHs, n = 49)提供食品和饮料的循证实践(营养ebp)的实施情况。结果表明,与CCCs相比,FCCHs报告的营养EBPs和屏障的实施显著高于CCCs (p < 0.05)。CCCs和FCCHs在观察到儿童粮食不安全并控制向儿童提供多少食物时,都将家庭推荐给WIC/SNAP。在制定政策/干预措施以改善中东欧国家营养EBPs的实施时,重要的是要考虑组织结构(CCCs、FCCHs)和儿童粮食不安全问题。

ABSTRACT Refugees resettled in a new country face a nutritional challenge due to difficulty in finding traditional foods and acculturation to the new diet. This preliminary study investigated prenatal nutritional practices among the Bhutanese refugee women resettled in Salt Lake City, Utah. Bhutanese women (n = 38) who have experienced pregnancy in the US were surveyed on practices influencing prenatal nutrition and care, food security issues, and cultural beliefs. Results from this study showed most women attending prenatal visits, eating a reasonably balanced diet – more vegetables and less meat, with a fasting rate of 10%.

ABSTRACT Objective was to assess amount of/reasons for, unused food from client-choice and traditional food pantries through a prospective, observational study. Two weeks after baseline visits, clients estimated percentage of products consumed and reported why unused products were not consumed through interviews. Participants were 28 clients from Baltimore, MD pantries. Clients reported consuming perishable foods first compared to shelf-stable foods. The most common reason for not using items was “plan to use later.” There were no significant differences in unused food between pantry models. Future studies on client food waste should include larger samples and longer follow-up periods.
