“…Future research should investigate the views of food‐insecure pregnant women living in rural and remote areas to complement these study findings, given the additional barriers to obtaining food in rural versus urban areas. 77 A key strength of the present study is participant diversity, including migrant women, which is an important consideration as migrants and culturally diverse individuals experience food insecurity at disproportionate rates. 78…”

BackgroundFood insecurity is a public health concern that has profound impact on physical and mental health, and on social well‐being. Pregnancy is a period in which food insecurity is likely to be particularly deleterious, due to the serious impact on both mother and child. Food insecurity is not routinely screened in antenatal healthcare settings, and the preferences of pregnant women regarding food insecurity screening and support are poorly understood. This study aimed to determine the views and preferences of food‐insecure pregnant women regarding food insecurity screening and support within antenatal healthcare.MethodsThis qualitative descriptive study used face‐to‐face semi‐structured interviews, conducted in February and March 2023, to gain the views of purposively sampled food‐insecure, pregnant women in Melbourne, Australia. Food insecurity was evidenced by an affirmative response to at least one of three assessment items in a screening questionnaire. Qualitative content analysis was conducted to summarise the views and preferences of women.ResultsNineteen food‐insecure pregnant women were interviewed. Three themes were identified: (1) acceptability of being screened for food insecurity, (2) concerns about the consequences of disclosure and (3) preferences regarding food insecurity screening and supportive strategies that could be offered within an antenatal healthcare setting.ConclusionWomen were accepting of food insecurity screening being conducted within routine healthcare. Women identified potential benefits of routine screening, such as feeling supported by their clinician to have a healthy pregnancy and less pressure to voluntarily ask for food assistance. Women gave suggestions for the implementation of food insecurity screening to optimise their healthcare experience, maintain their dignity and feel able to disclose within a safe and caring environment. These results indicate that food insecurity screening in the antenatal setting is likely to have support from pregnant women and is urgently needed in the interest of promoting optimal nutrition for women and children.Patient ContributionPregnant women with lived experience of food insecurity were purposively sampled to obtain their insights regarding screening and support within a pregnancy healthcare setting. Member‐checking occurred following data collection, whereby all participants were offered the opportunity to review their interview transcript to ensure trustworthiness of the data.

“…The assistance they received not only increased their food security, but also reduced the economic stress they were under and enabled them to use their money for other household needs. Furthermore, a review of thirty-two studies of the experience of food insecurity in the US, Canada, and Australia (Piaskoski et al, 2020) suggests the need for interventions to enhance the coping skills of people receiving food support, as well as to improve the systems providing this support.…”

The research examines the perspective of Israelis assisted by Non-governmental organization (NGOs) to promote their food security. This qualitative study employed the Interpretive Phenomenological Approach. The sample consisted of 16 recipients of food support aged 33-62, and they were interviewed in-depth semistructured protocol.Five main themes emerged: The background of food insecurity; Forms of food support; The experience of receiving food support; The effect of the assistance on food security; and the responsibility for food security. The participants indicated that the state welfare system should be responsible for food security, and they prefer payment cards that enable them to purchase food suitable to their individual needs while maintaining their dignity. Although the support provided does not entirely extricate families from food insecurity, they gain confidence by being able to receive food in times of hardship. The findings indicate the importance of considering the opinions of those in need when making policy decisions regarding food security.

“…The differences in access to food between urban and rural areas can be caused by dependency on transportation, distance traveled, the price of nutritious food, and the availability of healthy food [1]. Despite Indonesia's rapid economic growth, people in rural areas benefited less than that one in urban areas.…”

The role of women in food consumption decision-making is closely related to cultural norms. The primary objective of this study was to describe food habits based on gender perspective in West Java. This study used a cross-sectional design. The study was conducted for 12 months in Cianjur Regency (representing rural area) and City of Sukabumi (representing urban area), West Java, Indonesia. The samples were selected using clustered purposive sampling. The total subjects were 150 households. This study showed that in term of food allocation, fathers have privilege, such as fathers eat before mothers and children, setting aside foods for fathers first before sharing the rest with family members, and food menu that the father received was more complete or better. The wives have greater control than husband in aspects of household food management. The wives were also dominant in deciding food expenses in the family rather than their husbands. There were significant differences in food allocation between rural and urban areas. The differences including: fathers eat before mothers and children (p<0.001), menu differences between fathers and other family members (p=0.002), and menu differences among family members (p=0.008). There was a significant difference in decisions making to determine the daily food menu between rural and urban areas (p=0.004). Since mothers play an important role in food purchasing, improving nutrition knowledge is necessary for better quality food at the household level. This will have an impact on the nutritional status of all household members.
