The Relationship Between Food Insecurity, Nutrition Security, Perceived Limited Availability, and Utilization Barriers
Background
Nutrition security, perceived limited availability, and utilization barriers are new measures believed to be related to food insecurity, but how they are correlated with one another has not been determined.
Objective
Assess how food insecurity, nutrition security, perceived limited availability, and utilization barriers are related to one another among a sample of federally qualified health center (FQHC) patients.
Study Design, Settings, Participants
100 patients with pre-diabetes or diabetes receiving care from a safety net clinic in TX were recruited into a pilot produce prescription program. Participants received $390 to purchase local produce through a subsidized mobile market and home delivery program. Participants completed surveys regarding food insecurity, nutrition security, perceived limited availability, and utilization barriers.
Measurable Outcome/Analysis
Nutrition security, perceived limited availability, and utilization barriers (4, 3, and 8 items, respectively) were measured and categorized per the Center for Nutrition and Health Impact guidelines. Food insecurity was assessed using the USDA U.S Household Food Security Survey Module six-item short form and participants were categorized as food insecure if they answered affirmatively one or more questions. Spearman correlation was used to assess the direction and strength of the relationship between the measures.
Results
51 participants (52.5 (±9.1) years old, 71% female, 57% Hispanic) had complete data on all measures. Twelve (26%) were nutrition insecure, 13 (28%) had perceived limited availability, 12 (26%) reported high utilization barriers, and 29 (62%) were food insecure. Nutrition insecurity was weakly correlated with food insecurity (p=.33, P=.02) and perceived limited availability (p=.31, P=.02) and moderately correlated with utilization barriers (p=.56, P < .001). Food insecurity was moderately correlated with utilization barriers (p=.43, P=.002), but not perceived limited availability (p=.27, P=.06). Perceived limited availability and utilization barriers were moderately correlated (p=.42, P=.002).
Conclusions
This work demonstrates significant but weak to moderate correlations between measures of one’s food environment, suggesting that all four measures may be needed.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior (JNEB), the official journal of the Society for Nutrition Education and Behavior, is a refereed, scientific periodical that serves as a global resource for all professionals with an interest in nutrition education; nutrition and physical activity behavior theories and intervention outcomes; complementary and alternative medicine related to nutrition behaviors; food environment; food, nutrition, and physical activity communication strategies including technology; nutrition-related economics; food safety education; and scholarship of learning related to these areas.
The purpose of JNEB is to document and disseminate original research and emerging issues and practices relevant to these areas worldwide. The Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior welcomes evidence-based manuscripts that provide new insights and useful findings related to nutrition education research, practice and policy. The content areas of JNEB reflect the diverse interests in nutrition and physical activity related to public health, nutritional sciences, education, behavioral economics, family and consumer sciences, and eHealth, including the interests of community-based nutrition-practitioners. As the Society''s official journal, JNEB also includes policy statements, issue perspectives, position papers, and member communications.
