This article explores how North Carolina State University conducted asset-mapping workshops, a community-based participatory research (CBPR) method, to mobilize the campus community and identify solutions to address the root causes of food insecurity and other forms of basic needs insecurity among students. Workshop participants identified exemplary resources focused on addressing students’ immediate needs (e.g., campus food pantries, a student emergency fund). At the same time, they stated that basic needs insecurity is tied to longer-term, systemic issues like wage inequality and a lack of affordable housing. Participants also noted that historically marginalized students (e.g., LGBTQ+, low-income, first-generation college) often experience food and housing insecurity in complex ways requiring targeted solutions. Our results suggest that CBPR methods like asset mapping offer an approach that, when done well, can center the voices and experiences of diverse campus populations to identify and address the complex structural and systemic processes that shape students’ experiences of food and housing insecurity.}, number={2}, journal={Journal of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Community Development}, publisher={Lyson Center for Civic Agriculture and Food Systems}, author={Shisler, Rebecca and Cordero Oceguera, Emilia and Hardison-Moody, Annie and Bowen, Sarah}, year={2023}, month={Mar}, pages={135–153} }

The objec­tive of this research was to understand predictors of food insecurity during the COVID-19 pandemic among households with at least one child (<18 years), including whether foods reported as out-of-stock were associated with the likelihood of food insecurity. An online survey using validated measures and open-ended questions was distrib­uted to a convenience sample in five states—Louisiana, Montana, North Carolina, Oregon, and West Virginia—during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic (April through September of 2020). Predictors of food insecurity (race/ethnicity, age, marital status, education, federal nutrition assistance program participation, number of adults and children in the household, rurality, and missing foods when shopping) among households with children during the COVID-19 pandemic were modeled using logistic regression (p < 0.05, a priori). To further illuminate household experiences during this time, two researchers independently coded open-ended survey question data using inductive and deductive approaches to construct themes. Households with children had increased odds of experiencing food insecurity during the COVID-19 pandemic if they had the following characteristics: Hispanic ethnicity; age between 25 and 44 years; additional adult household members; economic hardship; SNAP/WIC participation; being widowed, divorced, or separated; and report­ing foods not available when shopping. Partici­pants described mainly negative changes to dietary patterns and practices as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. They also described food security chal­lenges and ideas for improving food security. Con­sistent with other data collected and analyzed dur­ing the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, this study contributes findings that emphasize the need for enhanced public health responses and emer­gency preparedness measures that protect food and nutrition security.

The challenges they faced were filtered through their practices as mothers; for example, they had little time and energy to be active because of the demands of daily childrearing and household labor. In addition, their strategies around leisure-time physical activity were tied to ideas of good mothering; for example, they sought opportunities that were free or low-cost for the entire family.

The increase was both unparalleled and disproportionately experienced by low-income, Black, Latino/a/x, and immigrant households (Lauren et al., 2021; Morales et al., 2020; Nagata et al., 2021; Wolfson & Leung, 2020). Even before the pandemic, rates of food insecurity in the United States were unusually high compared to other industrialized countries. Although parents try to shield their children from food insecurity (Elliott & Bowen, 2018; Olson, 2005; Stevens, 2010), research shows that children in food-insecure households are aware of food shortages (Fram et al., 2011) and experience a host of negative effects, including poorer general and oral health, poorer academic performance, behavioral and cognitive problems, and depression, aggression, and anxiety (Gundersen & Ziliak, 2014, 2018; Jyoti et al., 2005; Whitaker et al., 2006). The pandemic has revealed both the inadequacy and the potential of the U.S. welfare system. The United States Department of Agriculture’s comprehensive report on food insecurity in U.S. households throughout 2020, released in September 2021, estimates that surprisingly, the overall prevalence of food insecurity did not increase from 2019 (before the pandemic) to 2020, even though households spent more on food during the pandemic (Coleman-Jensen et al., 2021). Early research suggests that boosts to federal food assistance programs and other pandemic responses (such as the Federal supplement to unemployment and the eviction moratorium) may have made the difference. However, rates of food insecurity rose among specific groups, and the USDA concludes that more research is needed to understand the dynamics of food insecurity and other food hardships in U.S. households during the pandemic (Ibid.). Before the pandemic, participant levels for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistant Program (SNAP, also known as food stamps) were near historic highs. After cash benefits were severely cut by the 1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (Collins & Mayer, 2010; Hays, 2003), Supplemental Nutrition Assistant Program has become a more central part of the safety net, and families who do not receive SNAP face greater risks (Parolin & Brady, 2019). In general, public benefits are increasingly complicated or cumbersome to get and keep (Herd & Moynihan, 2018), and critics argue that SNAP is overly burdensome, provides inadequate support, and fails to reach all of the people who need it (Dickinson, 2020; Mulik & Haynes-Maslow, 2017). Dickinson (2020) argues that SNAP incentivizes low-wage work for poor families by making it possible for them to survive (but not get ahead) in jobs that pay below subsistence wages. The tragedy of the pandemic presents an important case study not only because of the rise in food insecurity, but also because of the unprecedented governmental response. Specifically, policies implemented in the early months of the pandemic removed many of the administrative burdens (see Herd & Moynihan, 2018) associated with receiving governmental assistance, provided direct cash payments to most families, and created more generous unemployment and food assistance benefits.

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has dramatically reshaped the U.S. food system and how people interact with it—more specifically, how people interact with their community food environment. The food environment is the distribution of food sources within a community, including the number, type, location, and accessibility of retail food outlets (Glanz, Sallis, Saelens, & Frank, 2005). Systemic injustices shape our food system and lead to a lack of access to healthier food and beverages for low-income and communities of color (Baker, Schootman, Barnidge, & Kelly, 2006; Bower, Thorpe, Rohde, & Gaskin, 2014). These neighborhood disparities have concrete effects on health, including increasing people’s risk for obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke (Franco, Diez Roux, Glass, Caballero, & Brancati, 2008; Richardson, Boone-Heinonen, Popkin, & Gordon-Larsen, 2012).

The analysis revealed eight aspirational food system discourses: production, distribution, and infrastructure; healthy, organic, local food; behavioral health and education; sustainability; finance and investment; hunger relief; demand-side preferences; romanticized, community led transformations. Study findings reveal that of eight discourses, only three encompass the experiences of low-wealth rural residents. This aspirational food system may aggravate the lack of autonomy and powerlessness already experienced by low-wealth rural groups, perpetuate a sense of failure by groups who will be unable to reach the aspirational food vision, silence discourses that might question those that play a role in the inequitable distribution of income while sanctioning discourses that focus on personal or community solutions, and leave out other policy-based solutions that address issues located within the food system.

Our findings question the notion that “good nutrition” is a universal concept; we argue that by focusing solely on the nutritional components of food, rather than approaching dietary behavior holistically, service providers exacerbate the challenges that immigrants and refugees face in continuing healthy food traditions in the U.S. Our analyzes extend previous research on food socialization by specifically examining the nutrition socialization process of immigrant and refugees, furthering our understanding of how and why immigrants’ diets change over time.}, number={1}, journal={Food, Culture & Society}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={Mycek, Mari Kate and Hardison-Moody, Annie and Bloom, J.

We combine a bi-directional model of acculturation with the community capitals framework, suggesting improved outcomes when immigrant/refugee communities maintain healthy traditions from their home countries through bonding social capital, while accessing resources through bridging social capital to practice those traditions in the US context. We apply this lens to a research/outreach project that worked with two immigrant/refugee communities in North Carolina. Facilitating communities’ bridging social capital resulted in increased access to resources, as well as maintenance of healthy food traditions in some cases. Bonding social capital was an internal resource, but also had the potential to inadvertently recreate internal power dynamics. Community developers need to be aware of this, while creating opportunities for community context and assets to drive project development.}, number={2}, journal={Community Development}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={Bloom, J.

Only 11 mothers (11.5%) exclusively breastfed for 6 months. Women reported several factors influencing infant feeding: interactions with medical providers, work environments, shared living spaces and family supports, and concerns about supply and production.This research highlights the complex interplay of economic and social barriers that shape how and what low-income women feed their infants. The study contributes to a better understanding of the social, cultural, and economic constraints faced by women in poverty. To improve breastfeeding rates among low-income women, it is important to examine the impacts of poverty and food insecurity on infant feeding practices.}, number={10}, journal={JOURNAL OF THE ACADEMY OF NUTRITION AND DIETETICS}, author={Hardison-Moody, Annie and MacNell, Lillian and Elliott, Sinikka and Bowen, Sarah}, year={2018}, month={Oct}, pages={1886-+} }

The women we spoke with talked about their motivations for choosing stores, as well as their experiences dealing with poor food access and an unequal distribution of food stores. We found that women cited price as the strongest motivator for choosing a store but found that a lack of transportation and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participation also had significant effects on shopping behaviors.

Little is known about shared use in faith-based settings. This study examined shared use practices and barriers in faith communities in North Carolina. Methods Faith communities in North Carolina (n = 234) completed an online survey (October–December 2013) designed to provide information about the extent and nature of shared use of recreational facilities. We used binary logistic regression to examine differences between congregations that shared use and those that did not share use. Results Most of the faith communities (82.9%) that completed the survey indicated that they share their facilities with outside individuals and organizations. Formal agreements were more common when faith communities shared indoor spaces such as gymnasiums and classroom meeting spaces than when they shared outdoor spaces such as playgrounds or athletic fields. Faith communities in the wealthiest counties were more likely to share their spaces than were faith communities in poorer counties. Faith communities in counties with the best health rankings were more likely to share facilities than faith communities in counties that had lower health rankings. The most frequently cited reasons faith communities did not share their facilities were that they did not know how to initiate the process of sharing their facilities or that no outside groups had ever asked. Conclusion Most faith communities shared their facilities for physical activity. Research is needed on the relationship between shared use and physical activity levels, including the effect of formalizing shared-use policies.}, number={E11}, journal={Preventing Chronic Disease}, author={Hardison-Moody, A. and Edwards, M.B. and Bocarro, J.N. and Stein, A. and Kanters, M.A. and Sherman, D. and Rhew, L.K. and Stallings, W.M. and Bowen, S.K.}, year={2017} }

Our findings confirm that young and disadvantaged women may view pregnancy and motherhood as opportunities to improve their lives in ways that mediate against their acceptance of family planning models. For these women, the notion of ‘blessing’ also reflects an acceptance of contingency and indeterminacy as central to the reproductive experience.

Baseline data came from participants in the Voices into Action (VIA) project, who were primary caretaker of at least one child (2-8 years). This analysis included mothers with complete data for sociodemographics, food security status, and dietary recalls (n=101). Participants had household incomes <200% of the federal poverty line, and were racially and ethnically diverse (41% black, 34% white, 25% Latina). Within-person means of dietary variables (servings/day) were calculated across individual recalls (3 recalls per participant). We examined differences in dietary variables by sociodemographics and food insecurity status. More than half of mothers were food insecure; 19% were very food insecure. Average intake of healthful foods—whole fruits, whole grains, seafood and plant proteins—were somewhat low (0.5, 1.0, and 0.8 servings/day, respectively). Yet, average intake of less healthful foods—salty snacks and sweets—were also fairly low (0.4 and 0.8 servings/day, respectively). Calorically sweetened, non-dairy beverages were somewhat high (2.5 servings/day). There were differences by food insecurity status. Low-income and food-insecure populations are often described as relying on low-cost, energy-dense foods for nutritional needs. However, few studies have examined comprehensive dietary intake data for this population. These findings question the assumption that low-income, food-insecure mothers are relying heavily on nutritionally poor, energy dense foods, and suggest that mothers' higher intake of sweetened beverages might be a compensatory behavior related to food insecurity.}, number={4}, journal={Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Johnson, Cassandra and Elliott, S. and Hardison-Moody, A. and Bowen, S.}, year={2014}, month={Jul}, pages={S162} }

Data analysis is underway to determine key structural and cultural factors that contribute to childhood obesity, including food traditions and beliefs and the effects of family and community food environments on individual behaviors.

FESMM gives families the skills to be able to eat more meals at home, eat healthy when eating out, move more in their everyday routine and watch less television. Focus group data guided the development of the program. The program includes four modules: Eating Smart at Home - simple solutions for planning, shopping, fixing and eating more meals at home, Eating Smart on the Run - skills to choose wisely when eating foods away from home, Moving More, Everyday, Everywhere - incorporating activity into your everyday routine, and Moving More, Watching Less - simple strategies to help turn off the TV and turn on to other opportunities. Multiple strategies have been employed to deliver FESMM including PowerPoint presentations for family workshops and flip chart for use with individual clients. Multimedia components of the program include video vignettes an interactive CD (Fast Food & Families). Collateral materials designed to help families implement healthy eating and physical activity behaviors are included in the program. FESMM employs the train the trainer model. Agents with Cooperative Extension and other health professionals with the county health department were trained to deliver the program. FESMM is currently being delivered in multiple settings including WIC clinics and family physician offices. Lessons learned and information about implementation and evaluation of the program will be presented.}, number={4}, journal={Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Dunn, Carolyn and Andersen, Kathy and Cialone, Josephine and Thomas, Cathy and Vodicka, Sheree and Newkirk, Jimmy and Hardison, Anne and Ritzman, Rosemary}, year={2006}, month={Jul}, pages={S21} }
