This study uses a rigorous design where administrative records are linked to survey data. We comp…

The effect of a fresh produce incentive paired with cooking and nutrition education on healthy eating in low-income households
Objective: This study pilot-tested combining financial incentives to purchase fruits and vegetables with nutrition education focused on cooking to increase the consumption of fruits and vegetables and improve attitudes around healthy eating on a budget among low-income adults. The goal of the pilot study was to examine implementation feasibility and fidelity, acceptability of the intervention components by participants and effectiveness. Design: …
Concordance of children’s intake of selected food groups as reported by parents via 24-h dietary recall and ecological momentary assessment
Objective: To understand how dietary intake data collected via a brief ecological momentary assessment (EMA) measure compares to that of data collected via interviewer-administered 24-h dietary recalls, and explore differences in level of concordance between these two assessment types by individual- and meal-level characteristics. Design: Parents completed three 24-h dietary recalls and 8 d of brief EMA surveys on behalf of their child; in total,…

In Study 2, interviews were conducted with a convenience s…
Mass Media Campaign to Reduce Consumption of Sugar-Sweetened Beverages in a Rural Area of the United States
Objectives. To evaluate a mass media campaign to reduce the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs). Methods. We disseminated messages emphasizing the health risks of SSBs through television, digital channels, and local organizations over 15 weeks in 2015–2016 in the Tri-Cities region of northeast Tennessee, southwest Virginia, and southeast Kentucky. We evaluated the campaign with pre- and post-telephone surveys of adults aged 18 to 45 y…
Physical and Psychological Aggression Toward a Child Among Homeless, Doubled-Up, and Other Low-Income Families
This study examines the extent of adverse parenting behaviors among low-income families with children and determines whether housing instability, measured by homelessness and doubling up with relatives or friends due to economic hardship, increases the likelihood of physical and psychological aggression towards a child, after considering the contribution of other relevant characteristics. Using data from 3 waves of the Fragile Families and Child …
Factors Contributing to the Receipt of Housing Assistance by Low-Income Families with Children in Twenty American Cities
The excess demand for housing assistance in the United States is well documented, but little is known about the factors that contribute to a family’s likeliness to receive housing assistance. This study tracks 3,237 low-income families in 20 large US cities over a 9-year study period to see which families would wind up receiving housing assistance. Thirty percent of the families subsequently received either public housing or voucher-based assista…
An econometric assessment of the effect of mental illness on household spending behavior
Changes in Maternal Health and Health Behaviors as a Function of Homelessness
This longitudinal study examines the influence of homelessness on maternal health and health behaviors. Using data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study, it follows 2,631 families from 20 large US cities over 5 years. Over that period, 9.8 percent of the sample reportedly experienced at least one homeless spell and an additional 23.6 percent experienced one or more doubled-up episodes. Estimated rates of disability, depression, and …
Homelessness among At‐Risk Families with Children in Twenty American Cities
This article uses data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing study to explore the characteristics and determinants of homelessness among families with children. These unique data permit the examination of a large set of individual‐, household‐, and city‐level risk factors that may influence homelessness. Results suggest that homelessness is strongly linked to informal and institutional social support. It is only modestly associated with l…
Public housing, health, and health behaviors
This paper explores the relationship between public housing, health outcomes, and health behaviors among low-income housing residents. While public housing can be a dangerous and unhealthy environment in which to live, the subsidized rent may free up resources for nutritious food and health care. In addition, public housing may be of higher quality than the available alternatives, it may provide easier access to health clinics willing to serve th…
