“…Response options included (1) We could always afford to eat good nutritious meals, (2) We could always afford enough to eat but not always the kinds of food we should eat, (3) Sometimes we could not afford enough to eat and (4) Often we could not afford enough to eat. In accordance with recent studies (32)(33)(34) , respondents who reported that they could sometimes or often not afford enough to eat were designated as experiencing moderate-to-severe food insecurity (2), respondents who reported that they could always afford enough to eat, but could not always afford to purchase nutritious foods, were designated as experiencing mild food insecurity (1) and respondents who reported being consistently able to afford good, nutritious meals were designated as being food secure (0).…”

Objective: The present study examines the association between mild and moderate-to-severe household food insecurity and school readiness among a nationally representative sample of preschool-aged children. Design: Cross-sectional data pertaining to household availability of food as well as four domains of school readiness – early learning skills, self-regulation, social-emotional development, and physical health & motor development – were employed. Setting: The United States. Participants: 15,402 children ages 3 to 5 from the 2016-2018 National Survey of Children’s Health (NSCH). Results: Both mild and moderate-to-severe food insecurity are associated with an increase in needing support or being at-risk in each of the four school readiness domains, particularly Self-Regulation (IRR = 4.31; CI = 2.68-6.95) and Social-Emotional Development (IRR = 3.43; CI = 2.16-5.45). Furthermore, while nearly half of children in food-secure households are on-track across all four school readiness domains (47.49%), only 1 in 4 children experiencing moderate-to-severe household food insecurity are on track across all domains (25.26%). Conclusions: Household food insecurity is associated with reductions in school readiness among preschool-aged children.

“…For instance, Lun (2004) [7] utilized Andersen's model to examine how the elderly engage with community-based services such as meal delivery and congregate meals. Other applications include investigating the use of informal food support among low-income households [8] and exploring factors influencing Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefit utilization [9]. Furthermore, Sharareh and Wallace (2022) [10] employed the model to highlight the role of nonprofit organizations in comprehending and addressing food insecurity and associated social needs like housing and healthcare issues.…”

The role of the food environment in shaping nutrition and health has gained substantial attention from policymakers, public health researchers, and advocacy groups. To promote equities in food access and nutrition outcomes, understanding factors linked with the utilization of local community food resources is crucial. Using Andersen’s service utilization model, we explained how adults use their neighborhood food resources. In a cross-sectional study design, an online survey was conducted in REDCap Version 13.4.0 via the Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) involving 1830 adults with a mean age of 37.9 ± 12.1 years. Participants answered questions on predisposing, enabling, and need factors that influence their use of different community food resources. The predisposing factors that were statistically significant included age, family size, marital status, race, and ethnicity. The enabling factors included travel time, travel mode, income, and shopping decision motivators (such as being able to use Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) vouchers, delivery services, great sales, and coupons). Food security and community food resources need for lower food price were the significant need factors. However, these factors vary by the types of food resources. In conclusion, enhancing the utilization of community-based food access initiatives and programs among underserved families requires consideration of family composition, racial and ethnic diversity, and transportation access.
