"Do Administrative Burdens Discourage Participation in WIC?" Experiences of Immigrant Mothers in Missouri
Little is known about the administrative burden faced by immigrant mothers when accessing the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) and how these vary by WIC participation status. Using focus group data from immigrant current participants (n = 25), prior participants (n = 16), and eligible non-participants (n = 13), we find that learning costs primarily hinder participation for non-participants. In contrast…
Challenges and barriers to WIC participation vary by participation status and language
The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is one of the largest federal food and nutrition program serving women and young children and has a low coverage rate of about 50 percent. There is no peer-reviewed article that compares maternal perceptions of challenges and barriers to WIC participation by language and participation status. We compare challenges and barriers faced by English-speaking mothers to th…
Giving kids a boost
Well-child visits are protective for child health but underutilized in the United States. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the largest federal food assistance program in the United States, has been shown to reduce food insecurity and may also promote child health by supporting preventative health care utilization. We examined the relationship between SNAP participation and infant well-child visits using state administrative d…

SNAP benefits and childhood asthma
SNAP Benefits and Pregnancy-Related Emergency Room Visits
A Decade of Analysis
Our study advances literature on immigrant food insecurity by examining whether national-level differences in immigrant and nonimmigrant families' risk of food insecurity persist across time and for different ethnic/racial groups. Using data from the Current Population Survey Food Security Supplement for low-income households with children aged 0 to 17 years, we examine trends (2003-2013) in immigrant and nonimmigrant food insecurity overall and …

Do community factors matter? An analysis of the achievement gap between indigenous and non-indigenous children in Peru
The impact of aging out of WIC on food security in households with children
The Child and Adult Care Food Program and Food Insecurity
The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) provides cash reimbursement to family day care, child-care centers, homeless shelters, and after-school programs for meals and snacks served to children. Despite young children’s known vulnerability to fluctuations in nutritional intake, prior literature has largely neglected the contributions of the CACFP to reducing household food insecurity. Using data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study–Bi…
Participation in the National School Lunch Program and food security
Racialized perceptions and child neglect
School-Based Early Childhood Education and Age-28 Well-Being
A little bit of preschool goes a long way.
Childhood predictors of adult substance abuse
Low Birth Weight, Preschool Education, and School Remediation
Studies have documented a strong relationship between low birth-weight status and adverse child outcomes such as poor school performance and need for special education services. Following a cohort of more than 1,300 low-income and predominately African American children in the Chicago Longitudinal Study, the authors investigate whether birth weight and family socioeconomic risk measured at the time of the child’s birth predicts placement into spe…
