    Open AccessAmanda Castelo Saragosa, Jason D Flatt et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2024

    Food insecurity (FI) has short- and long-term effects on maternal and child health, with persistent inequities within under-resourced communities of colour (e.g., Hispanic and Non-Hispanic Black). Interventions to mitigate maternal-child FI must engage the voices of under-resourced communities of colour to improve implementation and tackle socio-ecological drivers of inequities, leading to positive maternal-child outcomes.
