Abstract
Objectives: Food insecurity (FI) may be associated with worsened neonatal abstinence syndrome severity in infants born to individuals with substance use disorder. This study evaluates FI and housing insecurity (HI) influence on maternal and neonatal outcomes.
Methods: This was a cohort study of patients receiving obstetric care through a multispecialty program in Kentucky from 2015 to 2023. Inclusion criteria were: (1) program participants over age 18 consenting to observational research, (2) delivering at University of Kentucky, and (3) not withdrawing from research at any time. Initially, a subset of patients for whom FI and HI concerns were heightened were screened. In 2019, FI and HI screening became standard of care at the clinic. Housing was assessed on enrollment. A validated 2-question Hunger Vital Sign FI screen was utilized for a subset of patients. Maternal and neonatal outcomes, including adverse delivery outcomes, maternal comorbidities, and birth complications, were observed. Fisher's exact and 2 sample t tests were performed.
Results: Of 494 participants, 188 (38%) identified at risk for HI. At enrollment, 221 (45%) individuals reported owning their primary residence, 85 (17%) were in group residential treatment, 34 (6.9%) had no housing, and 134 (27%) lived at another's residence. Disposition of a child to a relative or not the patient's own care was greater with HI, 51% versus 47%. Of 155 respondents, 96 (62%) reported FI, associated with increased neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission, 86% versus 74%. Using the validated tool, Abuse Assessment Screen, abuse was significantly greater with FI, 76% versus 58%. Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scales >12 indicating depression were more common with FI, 63% versus 32%, P < .05. Anxiety scores were also higher with FI, P < .05. Patients with FI were more likely to experience abuse.
Conclusions: FI and HI were health-related needs associated with increased anxiety, depression, infant NICU admission, and loss of child custody.
