    Karen R Flórez, Alyshia Gálvez et al.ARTICLEFood Culture & Society2026References: 59

    Questions remain regarding how Mexican immigrants achieve nutrition security in the United States, particularly under poverty and in the wake of COVID-19.

  • Exploring antiretroviral therapy adherence, competing needs, and viral suppression among people living with HIV and food insecurity in the Dominican Republic

    Kathryn P Derose, Bing Han et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2022

    Understanding factors related to suboptimal adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) and detectable viral load (VL), especially among vulnerable populations, is needed to improve HIV outcomes. The Caribbean is highly impacted by HIV and socioeconomic inequalities, but few studies have been conducted there to explore food insecurity among people with HIV and factors associated with viral suppression in this vulnerable population. Using baseline d…

    Kathryn P Derose, Israel Ríos-Castillo et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2018

    Food insecurity is an important risk factor for overweight and obesity among low-income populations in high income countries, but has not been well-studied among people living with HIV (PLHIV), particularly in resource-poor settings. To explore the association between food insecurity and overweight and obesity among PLHIV in the Dominican Republic, we conducted a cross-sectional study of 160 HIV-infected adults between March-December 2012 in four…
