“…In addition, there is the utilitarian hypothesis alluded to in the introduction according to which women exposed to violence and mental distress have more trouble getting and sustaining jobs or finishing school. Opportunities and adequate income thus progressively decrease, with insufficient diet ensuing as a long-term end result (10,47) .…”

Objective: To investigate the direct and indirect associations between psychological and physical intimate partner violence and the occurrence of common mental disorders (CMD) and how they relate to the occurrence of household food insecurity (HFI). Design: This was a population-based cross-sectional study. Intimate partner violence was assessed using the Brazilian version of the Revised Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS2) and HFI was assessed using the Brazilian Food Insecurity Scale. The propositional analytical model was based on a review of the literature and was tested using path analysis. Setting: Duque de Caxias, Greater Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (April-December 2010). Subjects: Women (n 849) who had been in a relationship in the 12 months preceding the interview. Results: Both psychological and physical violence were found to be major risk factors of HFI. Psychological violence was associated with HFI indirectly via physical violence and CMD, and directly by an unidentified path. The effects of physical violence seemed to be manifested exclusively through CMD. Most of the variables in the propositional model related to socio-economic position, demographic characteristics, degree of women's social support and partner alcohol misuse were retained in the 'final' model, indicating that these factors contribute significantly to the increased likelihood of HFI. Conclusions: The results reinforce the importance of considering domestic violence and other psychosocial aspects of family life when implementing interventions designed to reduce/eradicate HFI.

“…This is consistent with other research that has been done on this association (Lent et al, 2009). Further, maternal mental health has been directly linked to domestic violence exposure and other Adverse Childhood Experiences (Chilton et al, 2015; Chilton et al, 2014). In fact, Hernandez and colleagues (2014) showed that the association between exposure to interpersonal violence and household food insecurity at a 2-year follow-up was mediated by maternal depression.…”

Food security is a condition achieved when all members of a household have access to adequate food at all times for a healthy, active lifestyle. As of 2014, 14% of households in the United States were food insecure. Previous research has suggested that household food insecurity is associated with numerous adverse medical and psychosocial outcomes across the lifespan. In this narrative review, we examine current research on food insecurity, specifically as it relates to child psychopathology and risk factors thereof: namely, parental mental illness and poor diet and metabolic health. Moreover, we begin to speculate about behavioral and physiological mechanisms by which these conditions may influence one another, and discuss possible interventions through enhanced screening and treatment, parent training, and provision of high quality foods to vulnerable households. Further research is needed to the effects of child and parental mental health on metabolic outcomes in families with food insecurity.

“…13,14 Finally, parent ACEs may contribute to vulnerable living conditions, such as food insecurity, 13,15 as well as higher risk of ACEs among the children themselves. 16,17 The potential intergenerational effects of ACEs are supported by research revealing increased risk of adverse health outcomes among children of parents who experienced chronic trauma. 8 Yet, authors of almost no studies have examined whether parent ACEs are related to the health of their children, particularly beyond infancy.…”
