Sugar In School Breakfasts: A School District's Perspective, Jennifer G. Lengyel Ms, Rdn, Ld, Nan Cramer Rdn, Ld, Amanda Oceguera Ms, Rdn, Ld, Lana Pigao Ma, Houston Independent School District, Nutrition Services Department

Journal of Applied Research on Children: Informing Policy for Children at Risk

A recent series of emails and phone calls from parents concerned about the sugar content of Houston Independent School District’s school breakfasts revealed that a new issue had risen to the surface. This prompted us to look closely at the sugar content of our breakfast items. School districts participating in the National School Breakfast Program follow a strict set of nutritional regulations set forth by the USDA under the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act (HHFKA) of 2010 in response to the childhood obesity epidemic. HHFKA made significant changes to the breakfast meal pattern, but did not set standards for the …

A Cross-Sectional Exploration Of Food Security, Depression, And Chaos In Low-Income Households With Children, Courtney A. Pinard, Eric E. Calloway, Hollyanne E. Fricke, Amy L. Yaroch

Journal of Applied Research on Children: Informing Policy for Children at Risk

Depression has been linked to food security, particularly among low-income mothers. However, less is known about the relationship between CHAOS (Confusion, Hubbub, and Order Scale), a measure of family functioning such as timeliness and order, and varying levels food security. The purpose of this paper was to evaluate the relationship between depression, CHAOS, and sociodemographics on the level of food insecurity in a cross-sectional sample of low-income households with children, ages 0-18 years.

Participants were recruited from low-income communities in a medium sized Midwestern city in the United States. Eligible participants were ≥19 years of age, a parent or primary …

Monthly Snap Benefit Duration And Its Association With Food Security, Hunger-Coping, And Physiological Hunger Symptoms Among Low-Income Families, Eric E. Calloway, Hollyanne E. Fricke, Courtney A. Pinard, Teresa M. Smith, Amy L. Yaroch

Journal of Applied Research on Children: Informing Policy for Children at Risk

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to examine relationships between monthly Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefit duration (i.e., the number of weeks each month a participants’ SNAP benefits provide food), and five primary outcome variables: food security, three hunger-coping behavior scales (rationing food supplies, financial strategies, making trade-offs), and physiological hunger symptoms, among a sample of families with children 0-18 years currently receiving SNAP benefits.

Methods

Baseline survey data were collected as part of a community-based intervention to alleviate child hunger. Participants included in the analytic sample were current SNAP recipients, parents (or caregivers), and 19 years of …

Food Matters: Food Insecurity Among Pregnant Adolescents And Infant Birth Outcomes, Stephanie A. Grilo, Valerie A. Earnshaw, Jessica B. Lewis, Emily C. Stasko, Urania Magriples, Jonathan Tobin, Jeannette R. Ickovics

Journal of Applied Research on Children: Informing Policy for Children at Risk

Objectives: The objectives of this study are to: (1) document prevalence of food insecurity among pregnant adolescents; (2) determine if food insecurity is associated with adverse birth outcomes (i.e., lower birth weight, earlier gestational age) among their newborns; and (3) examine whether depressive symptoms, anxiety, nutrition and/or weight gain mediate these associations.

Methods: Pregnant adolescents (14-21 years old; N-881) in prenatal care at community hospitals and health centers in New York City completed a health and psychosocial survey during second and third trimesters of pregnancy. Birth weight and gestational age were recorded from medical records.

Results: Over one-half of the …

Trends In Household And Child Food Insecurity Among Families With Young Children From 2007 To 2013, Allison R. Bovell, Stephanie Ettinger De Cuba, Patrick H. Casey, Sharon Coleman, John T. Cook, Diana Cutts, Timothy C. Heeren, Alan Meyers, Megan Sandel, Maureen M. Black Ph.D,, Mariana Chilton, Deborah A. Frank

Journal of Applied Research on Children: Informing Policy for Children at Risk

Background: 2007-2013 spanned an economic downturn with rising food costs. While Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits increased during those years by 13.6% from the 2009 American Recovery Reinvestment Act (ARRA), the impact of these competing conditions on household food insecurity (HFI, household food insecure but child food secure) and child food insecurity (CFI, household and child food insecure) in households with infants and toddlers has not been investigated.

Objective: To describe HFI and CFI in households participating in SNAP vs. households likely eligible but not participating (No SNAP).

Design: Repeat cross-sectional

Participants/Setting: 19,999 caregivers of childrenChildren’s HealthWatch survey in …

Community Food Security Strategies: An Exploratory Study Of Their Potential For Food Insecure Households With Children, Michelle L. Kaiser, Kareem Usher, Colleen Spees

Journal of Applied Research on Children: Informing Policy for Children at Risk

This research sought to explore nutrition and related health issues of 151 households with children who participated in a survey addressing food access, food security, nutrition, health, food provisioning strategies, and barriers to optimal food consumption. This study explored the potential use of community food security strategies as a tool to address public health concerns through increasing fruit and vegetable intake by improving access to affordable healthy foods. Poor diet, stress, and food insecurity impacts adults and children in terms of cognitive development, mental health, and risk for costly chronic diseases. This research contextualized consumer responses within a contemporary policy …

Multidisciplinary Approaches To Address Food Insecurity And Nutrition Among Youth And Their Families, Shreela V. Sharma, Daphne C. Hernandez, Deanna M. Hoelscher, Amy L. Yaroch

Journal of Applied Research on Children: Informing Policy for Children at Risk

Our aim in publishing this issue of JARC on nutrition and food insecurity is to understand the factors associated with nutrition and food insecurity in the U.S. and around the world; to elucidate the potential consequences of food insecurity on physical and mental health; and to raise awareness and identify solutions to address this complex issue. We also aim to encourage collaboration across disciplines in order to frame initiatives that reduce these threats to child health, well-being and success.
