Just Food doesn’t Do It”
Food security among rural veteran populations is an understudied subject. This study uses qualitative data from 106 semi-structured interviews conducted with staff from programs at the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and other federal agencies, staff from non-governmental organizations (NGOs), food security researchers, and food insecure veterans to identify the barriers to and facilitators for rural veteran food security. Barri…
We’re all one bad day away”
When COVID-19 arrived in Buffalo, New York in March 2020, there was already significant food insecurity in the region. However, barriers to food access were greatly exacerbated by the pandemic. This study assesses the pandemic's impact on food access in Buffalo through 75 surveys and 30 qualitative interviews conducted with users of food pantries. Results show that, while the pandemic did contribute to food insecurity, many food pantry users were…
Using participatory geographic information systems (PGIS) mapping to describe household food access in Buffalo, New York
Despite existing only blocks apart, neighborhoods in Buffalo, NY can have very different levels of food availability and access due to their local food environment. This study uses participatory geographic information systems (PGIS) mapping and qualitative interviewing to describe these food environments based on the lived experiences of Buffalo residents. PGIS mapping interviews were conducted with residents of the city who regularly used food p…
Stop or Switch
Contraceptive discontinuation for method‐related reasons, while presumably wanting to avoid pregnancy, is a common phenomenon and can contribute to high levels of unmet need and unplanned pregnancies. Some women discontinue contraceptive use and do not quickly resume a method (“stopping”), while others are able to quickly switch to another method to achieve their reproductive goal of avoiding pregnancy (“switching”). We use Demographic and Health…
Blocking out the rabbit holes
Gardening activities can offer a sense of calm, purpose, and self-worth and help improve physical and mental health, but research on these benefits within veteran populations is limited. In collaboration with a local garden, this Veterans Affairs (VA) program evaluation explored perceived benefits of gardening for veterans from two VA programs. Focus groups and photovoice methods revealed four main benefits of participation: supporting mental and…
Teen Food Insecurity
Teens are vulnerable to food insecurity for both biological and social reasons. This study aimed to better understand the factors that underpin teen food insecurity and the coping strategies teens employ when faced with limited food access and hunger. A sociodemographic survey including the USDA's Self-Administered Food Security Survey Module for Children Ages 12 Years and Older, focus groups, and photovoice were used to collect data on the demog…
Lessons Learned
Over the last 10 years, the MSW program at Portland State University has gone from graduating 15% of its students in the macro concentration, to 32%, while the national average remains under 9%. This article traces that experience through a historically-grounded narrative line, and extracts learnings that are potentially relevant for the profession. Curricular practices include reviewing the content for horizontal and vertical integration, introd…
Do home pregnancy tests bring women to community health workers for antenatal care counselling? A randomized controlled trial in Madagascar
Task-shifting the provision of pregnancy tests to community health workers (CHWs) in low-resource settings has the potential to reach significantly more underserved women at risk of pregnancy with essential reproductive health services. This study assessed whether an intervention to supply CHWs with home pregnancy tests brought more clients for antenatal care (ANC) counselling. We implemented a randomized controlled trial among CHWs providing rep…
Global Contraceptive Failure Rates
Contraceptive failure is a major contributor to unintended pregnancy worldwide. DHS retrospective calendars, which are the most widely used data source for estimating contraceptive failure in low‐income countries, vary in quality across countries and surveys. We identified surveys with the most reliable calendar data and analyzed 105,322 episodes of contraceptive use from 15 DHSs conducted between 1992 and 2014. We estimate contraceptive method‐s…
Food insecurity and healthcare decision making among mobile food pantry clients in Tampa Bay
This article examines the relationship between food insecurity and health-care decision-making among mobile food pantry clients in Tampa Bay, Florida. Results show a high rate of food insecurity, high stress levels, and chronic health conditions among mobile pantry clients, many of whom are long-term users of food pantry services. The fruits and vegetables supplied by the pantry allow clients to manage chronic health conditions and mitigate some …

Reassessing Unmet Need for Family Planning in the Postpartum Period
Despite renewed interest in postpartum family planning programs, the question of the time at which women should be expected to start contraception after a birth remains unanswered. Three indicators of postpartum unmet need consider women to be fully exposed to the risk of pregnancy at different times: right after delivery (prospective indicator), after six months of amenorrhea (intermediate indicator), and at the end of amenorrhea (classic indica…
Understanding Unmet Need
During the past two decades, estimates of unmet need have become an influential measure for assessing population policies and programs. This article recounts the evolution of the concept of unmet need, describes how demographic survey data have been used to generate estimates of its prevalence, and tests the sensitivity of these estimates to various assumptions in the unmet need algorithm. The algorithm uses a complex set of assumptions to identi…
