This study validated the food security question in the NutriSTEP® against the Household Food Security Survey (HFSS) and the Hunger Vital Sign.

All of the tools identified over 40% of the participants experienced food insecurity. The food security question in the NutriSTEP® had 82.1% sensitivity and 94.1% specificity when compared against the HFSS reference standard. The NutriSTEP® adequately identified children with food insecurity.","PeriodicalId":51621,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hunger & Environmental Nutrition","volume":"48 1","pages":"860 - 868"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80806079","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, we estimated the percentage of SNAP eligible but not enrolled (EBNE) households, by census tract. Next, we utilized the Anselin’s Local Moran’s I statistic to identify statistically significant hot/cold spots of SNAP EBNE tracts throughout Texas and in Harris County. We found that hot spot census tracts had significantly higher densities, income levels, and lower poverty rates than other census tracts. Using spatial statistics to identify hot/cold spots of SNAP under-participation offers a novel method for understanding area SNAP utilization.","PeriodicalId":51621,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hunger & Environmental Nutrition","volume":"569 1","pages":"578 - 591"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77076494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The prices of 35 healthy foods were decreased over time while simultaneously increasing the prices of 45 unhealthy foods. Trends in sales were examined across each manipulation period. Total sales of healthy foods remained relatively stable over time, indicating that total quantity sold increased. In contrast, total sales of unhealthy foods generally declined during the study period, indicating that total quantity sold decreased. In this store, we found that healthy and unhealthy foods may be sensitive to pricing manipulation strategies.","PeriodicalId":51621,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hunger & Environmental Nutrition","volume":"12 1","pages":"654 - 669"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88755183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both CCCs and FCCHs refer families to WIC/SNAP when they observe child food insecurity and control how much food is served to children.
