Food Insecurity and Suicidal Behaviors Among US High School Students
BACKGROUND: Food insecurity (FI) rates in the United States are particularly high among households with children. This research set aims to analyze if high school students experiencing FI had higher risk for mental health and suicidal behaviors. METHODS: Using combined data from 11 states that conducted the 2017 Youth Risk Behavior Survey, a total of 26,962 and 24,051 high school students were used to estimate race/ethnicity and sex-stratified pr…

Recruitment and Retention for the Evaluation of a Healthy Food Initiative in Economically Disadvantaged, Majority African American Communities
Effective recruitment and retention supports equitable participation in research. The aim of this article is to describe recruitment and retention methods among residents of highly disadvantaged, predominantly African American communities in the southeastern United States during the evaluation of a healthy food access initiative. We proposed that active and passive recruitment methods, intensive retention strategies, community outreach and involv…

Food insecurity, childhood hunger and caregiver life experiences among households with children in South Carolina, USA
Objective: We explored how positive and negative life experiences of caregivers are associated with household food insecurity. Design: The Midlands Family Study (MFS) was a cross-sectional study with three levels of household food security: food secure, food insecure without child hunger and food insecure with child hunger. Ordinal logistic regression analysis was used for analyses of negative and positive life experiences (number, impact, type) …
How Cultural Frames Guide Strategies to Eliminate Child Hunger
Cultural frames, or myths we use to communicate, shape how we understand social problems, such as child hunger. In 48 interviews, we identified metaphors and myths, such as “the poor will always be with you,” “meat product,” and “butterfly effects” that point to cultural frames of child hunger. Three different frames were identified – the welfare state, the free market, and the resilience and resistance frame. Speakers used frames to communicate …
Disentangling the roles of point-of-sale ban, tobacco retailer density and proximity on cessation and relapse among a cohort of smokers
Banning POS retail displays shows promise as an additional tool to prevent relapse, although these results need to be confirmed in larger longitudinal studies
Socioeconomic factors associated with diet quality and meeting dietary guidelines in disadvantaged neighborhoods in the Southeast United States
Objective : To examine diet quality and dietary intake among residents of disadvantaged neighborhoods in the Southeast United States (U.S.) and to examine associations between dietary and socioeconomic factors. Design : We examined baseline data from an evaluation study of a healthy food access initiative. Participants were recruited from two urban settings comprising seven neighborhoods of high household poverty (17% to 62%). Participants comple…

Food Shopping and Acquisition Behaviors in Relation to BMI among Residents of Low-Income Communities in South Carolina
Low-income areas in which residents have poor access to healthy foods have been referred to as "food deserts." It is thought that improving food access may help curb the obesity epidemic. Little is known about where residents of food deserts shop and if shopping habits are associated with body mass index (BMI). We evaluated the association of food shopping and acquisition (e.g., obtaining food from church, food pantries, etc.) with BMI among 459 …
Geographic measures of retail food outlets and perceived availability of healthy foods in neighbourhoods
Objective To examine associations between geographic measures of retail food outlets and perceived availability of healthy foods. Design Cross-sectional. Setting A predominantly rural, eight-county region of South Carolina, USA. Subjects Data from 705 household shoppers were analysed using ordinary least-squares regression to examine relationships between geographic measures (presence and distance) of food outlets obtained via a geographic inform…
Perceived and geographic food access and food security status among households with children
Objective To examine the association of both perceived and geographic neighbourhood food access with food security status among households with children. Design This was a cross-sectional study in which participants’ perceptions of neighbourhood food access were assessed by a standard survey instrument, and geographic food access was evaluated by distance to the nearest supermarket. Multinomial logistic regression models were used to examine the …

Whose quality of life is it anyway? Discrepancies between youth and parent health-related quality of life ratings in type 1 and type 2 diabetes
Relative validity and reliability of an FFQ in youth with type 1 diabetes
Objective To evaluate the relative validity and reliability of the SEARCH FFQ that was modified from the Block Kids Questionnaire. Design Study participants completed the eighty-five-item FFQ twice plus three 24 h dietary recalls within one month. We estimated correlations between frequencies obtained from participants with the true usual intake for food groups and nutrients, using a two-part model for episodically consumed foods and measurement …

Egg consumption and insulin metabolism in the Insulin Resistance Atherosclerosis Study (Iras)
Objective To examine the association between egg consumption and measures of insulin sensitivity (S I ), acute insulin response (AIR) and metabolic clearance rate of insulin (MCRI). Design Cross-sectional analysis. Settings Egg consumption, categorized as I , AIR and MCRI were determined from frequently sampled intravenous glucose tolerance tests. Subjects Non-diabetic participants ( n 949) in the Insulin Resistance Atherosclerosis Study (IRAS). …
Environmental influences on fruit and vegetable intake
Objective Fruit and vegetable (F&V) intake is influenced by behavioural and environmental factors, but these have rarely been assessed simultaneously. We aimed to quantify the relative influence of supermarket availability, perceptions of the food environment and shopping behaviour on F&V intake. Design A cross-sectional study. Setting Eight counties in South Carolina, USA, with verified locations of all supermarkets. Subjects A telephone survey …

Developing a Multicomponent Model of Nutritious Food Access and Related Implications for Community and Policy Practice
Access to nutritious foods is limited in disenfranchised communities in the United States. Policies are beginning to focus on improving nutritious food access in these contexts; yet, few theories are available to guide this work. We developed a conceptual model of nutritious food access based on the qualitative responses of food consumers in 2 different regions of the American South. Five domains (economic, service delivery, spatial-temporal, soc…

Food Store Types, Availability, and Cost of Foods in a Rural Environment
Validation of 3 Food Outlet Databases
Despite interest in the built food environment, little is known about the validity of commonly used secondary data. The authors conducted a comprehensive field census identifying the locations of all food outlets using a handheld global positioning system in 8 counties in South Carolina (2008-2009). Secondary data were obtained from 2 commercial companies, Dun & Bradstreet, Inc. (D&B) (Short Hills, New Jersey) and InfoUSA, Inc. (Omaha, Nebraska),…
Associations of Rural Residence With Timing of HIV Diagnosis and Stage of Disease at Diagnosis, South Carolina 2001-2005
CONTEXT: Rural areas in the southern United States face many challenges, including limited access to health care services and stigma, which may lead to later HIV diagnosis among rural residents. PURPOSE: To investigate the associations of rural residence with timing of HIV diagnosis and stage of disease at diagnosis. METHODS: Timing of HIV diagnosis was categorized as a diagnosis of acquired immune deficiency syndrome within 1 year of a first pos…
