“…Parental feeding practices linked to child behavior were investigated in several studies 50,51,52,53,54,55 . Parents reported engaging in different feeding practices to influence children, such as pressure to eat, food restriction, and controlling food intake, based on child characteristics, including weight, age, and developmental stage 50 .…”

“…Parents reported encouraging healthy eating behaviors through practices such as limiting the availability of sugar-sweetened foods in the home. On the other hand, the same study indicated that parents buy foods that they know their children will eat to avoid buying foods that will go to waste, which can contribute to the purchasing of foods with reduced dietary quality 55 . Parents reported monitoring their children’s food intake, establishing their own healthy relationship with food, and encouraging their children to select nutritious options to assist them in making healthy food choices 55,56 .…”

Background: Low income and food insecure households are at risk of poor dietary quality and food insecurity. Especially in childhood, consuming a nutritionally adequate diet is an essential driver of health, growth, and development. Prior research has shown many household-level factors can present challenges to support the nutritional needs of the members of low income and food insecure households. Objective: The aim of the scoping review is to identify the contributing factors to dietary quality and food security in U.S. households of school-aged children and synthesize the evidence. Methods: The scoping review was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Protocols Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) using search terms addressing food insecurity, low-income and dietary behaviors in the database PubMed (NCBI). Screening by 3 independent reviewers at the title, abstract, and full study phases identified forty-three studies included in the review. Results: The studies addressed six themes: parental behaviors, child/adolescent behaviors, food procurement behaviors, food preparation behaviors, and psychosocial factors. Most studies were cross-sectional (n = 40, 93%) and focused on parental behaviors (n = 24, 56%), followed by food procurement behaviors, and food preparation behaviors. Conclusion: The findings can be used to inform the development of future nutritional education interventions aimed at improving the dietary quality and food security in households with children. The themes identified were interrelated and suggest that providing parents with education on the following topics: 1) the importance of modeling positive eating behaviors in the home, 2) approaches to support and encourage positive feeding practices with their children, and 3) practical strategies to overcome barriers to purchasing and preparing foods of high nutrient quality. For example, delivering educational sessions on meal selection and preparation and improving nutritional knowledge hold promise to improve dietary quality among food insecure and low-income households.

“…(12,13) SNAP participants report that consuming healthy foods is cost-prohibitive (relative to the costs of less healthy food items), (12) especially perishable foods such as produce. (14) Qualitative research also suggests that the physical environment in uences SNAP participants' ability to access fresh produce, potentially due to a lack of transportation, time constraints, and few stores selling fruits and vegetables. (12) Mobile produce markets are portable markets designed to mitigate these nancial and physical barriers to healthy diet behaviors by selling affordable fruits and vegetables in areas with limited access to fresh produce.…”

Background. Offering financial incentives promotes increases in fruit and vegetable purchases in farmers’ markets and supermarkets. Yet, little is understood about whether food-insecure adults purchase more fruits and vegetables as a result of receiving financial incentives in mobile produce market settings.Methods. In 2018-2019, Food on the Move provided a 50% discount to customers using Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits to purchase fruit and vegetables from 16 market locations in Rhode Island (n=412 market occasions). We used mixed multivariable linear regression to estimate the difference in total dollar sales per transaction per month between SNAP transactions and non-SNAP transactions. We also estimated the difference in out-of-pocket dollar sales per transaction per month between SNAP and non-SNAP transactions, less the 50% discount. This reflects the actual amount spent on fresh fruits and vegetables purchased per visit. In both models, we controlled for the number of market sites per month, with fixed effects for quarter and year. We estimated random intercept variance for date of transaction and market site to adjust for clustering.Results. In 2018-2019, the majority of market transactions (total n=13,165) were SNAP transactions [n=7.988 (63.0%)]. On average, customers spent $17.38 (SD=16.69) on fruits and vegetables per transaction per month. However, customers using SNAP benefits spent significantly more on FVs per transaction per month [$22.01 (SD=17.97)] compared to those who did not use SNAP benefits [9.81 (SD=10.68)] (β=$10.88; 95% CI: 10.18, 11.58). Similarly, out-of-pocket dollar sales per SNAP transaction per month (i.e., less the 50% discount) were significantly higher [$11.42 (SD=9.44)] relative to non-SNAP transactions [$9.40 (SD=9.33)] (β=$1.85; 95% CI: 1.44, 2.27).Conclusions. Financial incentives contributed to higher fruit and vegetable purchases among low-income customers who shop at mobile produce markets compared to non-eligible customers. Higher spending on fruits and vegetables may promote healthy diet behaviors and reduce chronic disease risk among food-insecure adults.
