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) …
Parenting styles are associated with overall child dietary quality within low-income and food-insecure households
Objective: To examine the association between parenting styles and overall child dietary quality within households that are low-income and food-insecure. Design: Child dietary intake was measured via a 24 h dietary recall. Dietary quality was assessed using the Healthy Eating Index-2005 (HEI-2005). Parenting styles were measured and scored using the Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire. Linear regressions were used to test main and inter…
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 …
Parental Involvement
This article explores how parents and school personnel perceived and experienced parental involvement at a school serving a low-income mainly black population. The first author recorded detailed field notes (n=70) and conducted in-depth interviews with parents (n=20) and school personnel (n=20) over a three-year period. Despite rhetoric of inclusion, the school's policies and practices restricted parents to predetermined and acceptable roles of p…
The influence of dominant obesity discourse on child health narratives
The medicalization of obesity encourages the structural and interpersonal regulation and monitoring of people who appear to be overweight or obese, with particular attention paid to low-income and minority populations; these dynamics serve to perpetuate contemporary social inequalities. The purpose of this study was to gain a better understanding of the perceptions of health and obesity among mostly Black parents and mostly White school personnel…
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 …
Development of a structured observational method for the systematic assessment of school food-choice architecture
The objective of this study is to develop a structured observational method for the systematic assessment of the food-choice architecture that can be used to identify key points for behavioral economic intervention intended to improve the health quality of children's diets. We use an ethnographic approach with observations at twelve elementary schools to construct our survey instrument. Elements of the structured observational method include deci…

Evaluation of compliance to national nutrition policies in summer day camps
Objective The National Afterschool Association (NAA) standards specify the role of summer day camps (SDC) in promoting healthy nutrition habits of the children attending, identifying foods and beverages to be provided to children and staff roles in promoting good nutrition habits. However, many SDC do not provide meals. Currently, national guidelines specifying what children are allowed to bring to such settings do not exist, nor is there a solid…
Policy Instruments Used by States Seeking to Improve School Food Environments
US legislatures and program administrators have sought to control the sale of foods offered outside of federally funded meal programs in schools, but little is known about which policies, if any, will prevent obesity in children. We used a theoretical policy science typology to understand the types of policy instruments used by US state governments from 2001 to 2006. We coded 126 enacted bills and observed several types of instruments prescribed …
Children Are Aware of Food Insecurity and Take Responsibility for Managing Food Resources
Positive Parenting Practices Associated with Subsequent Childhood Weight Change
Policies that restrict sweetened beverage availability may reduce consumption in elementary-school children
Objective We investigated whether having a policy regarding the availability of sweetened beverages in school was associated with children’s purchase and total weekly and daily consumption of sweetened beverages. Design Data were obtained from 10 719 children aged 9–13 years and 2065 elementary schools in the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study–Kindergarten cohort. Multilevel logistic regression was used to determine the magnitude and significance…
Circos
We created a visualization tool called Circos to facilitate the identification and analysis of similarities and differences arising from comparisons of genomes. Our tool is effective in displaying variation in genome structure and, generally, any other kind of positional relationships between genomic intervals. Such data are routinely produced by sequence alignments, hybridization arrays, genome mapping, and genotyping studies. Circos uses a circ…
Improving Patrons' Meal Selections Through the Use of Point-of-Selection Nutrition Labels
Objectives. We examined changes in meal selection by patrons of university food-service operations when nutrition labels were provided at the point of selection. Methods. We used a quasi-experimental, single-group, interrupted time-series design to examine daily sales before, during, and after provision of point-of-selection nutrition labels. Piecewise linear regression was employed to examine changes in the average energy content of entrées and …
Food insecurity and subsequent weight gain in women
Objective Cross-sectional data indicate that a relationship between household food insecurity and overweight exists among women in the USA. Cross-sectional data cannot determine if food insecurity leads to overweight as some have hypothesised. The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship of food insecurity with subsequent weight gain in women using data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID). Design, setting and subjec…
