Immigrant and refugee experiences in the Utah WIC program
Addressing structural and cultural barriers through targeted education, language services, and inclusive support systems and policies can enhance WIC participation and promote equity. Future research should explore the long-term impacts of these efforts and the factors that influence sustained program utilization
Food Swamps and Transportation Access

This Community-Based Participatory Research study surveyed residents from six neighborhoods in Hartford. Individual-level food swamp exposure (the ratio of unhealthy to healthy food stores within a 0.5-mile radius of participants' homes) was measured both objectively (u…
Black and Latina women's lived experiences with navigating neighborhood food swamps to find healthy food
To understand the perspectives of individuals living within food swamps and how they may perceive their access to healthy vs. unhealthy foods before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Factors associated with caregivers’ food safety knowledge, behavior, perception of food safety control, and the nutrition status of under-5 children in Nigeria
Factors associated with food safety and children's nutritional outcomes are multi-faceted in nature. Future studies should explore access to resources and other intermediate factors that may explain the linkage between childhood malnutrition and caregivers' food safety awareness, knowledge, and behavior. Public health and food safety initiatives to bridge the gap between perceived food safety control and actual food safety behavior/practices

Previous studies have consistently identified cultural uniqueness as one of the barriers to meeting the needs of the refugee communities effectively. This current perspective describes the barriers and opportunities to improve nutrition education efforts among this population while taking into account the cultural…
Racial Differences in Perceived Food Swamp and Food Desert Exposure and Disparities in Self-Reported Dietary Habits
Both food swamps and food deserts have been associated with racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities in obesity rates. Little is known about how the distribution of food deserts and food swamps relate to disparities in self-reported dietary habits, and health status, particularly for historically marginalized groups. In a national U.S. sample of 4305 online survey participants (age 18+), multinomial logistic regression analyses were used to …
