News From Health Affairs

Dear John,

Milkie Vu and coauthors today released an ahead-of-print article

exploring high levels of food insecurity and low participation in the
CalFresh nutrition program among low-income Asian Americans.

Food Insecurity Among Asian Americans

In their ahead-of-print article to be published as part of Health
Affairs' October 2023 Racism & Health theme issue, Milkie Vu and her
team of coauthors examine food insecurity and participation in CalFresh
,
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in California, among
Asian Americans adults.

After examining survey data including Asian American adults of Chinese,
Filipino, Japanese, Korean, South Asian, and Vietnamese origin, Vu and
coauthors find "high and varied levels of overall food insecurity," with
the highest burden being among Filipino adults at 40 percent.

Participation in CalFresh ranged from 11 percent among Korean adults and
12 percent among Chinese adults to 20 percent among Vietnamese adults.

Vu and coauthors determined that CalFresh participation among most Asian
origin groups was still lower than other racial/ethnic groups examined.

When examining characteristics outside of race and ethnicity, Vu and
coauthors found a higher rate of unemployment among CalFresh
participants and similar rates of English proficiency, suggesting that
California policies to promote language assistance have been effective.

This Hispanic Heritage Month, we're highlighting influential Hispanic
and Latino voices and organizations who have made an impact on health
equity and policy.

The National Association of Hispanic Nurses (NAHN)

was founded in 1975 by Ildaura Murillo-Rohde. The NAHN stemmed from the
Hispanic Nurses Caucus of the American Nurses Association (ANA) after
Hispanic nurses felt that their needs were not being met by the ANA.

Today, NAHN has more than forty local chapters. While Latinos represent
18 percent of the population, less than 7 percent of the nursing
workforce are Latino. A major goal of NAHN is to create a cadre of
highly qualified Latino nurses.
