Sunday, September 24, 2023 | The Latest Research, Commentary, And News
From Health Affairs

Dear John,

This week, we published an ahead-of-print article from Milkie Vu and
coauthors 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 "Tackling Structural Racism in Health" theme issue,
Milkie Vu and coauthors examine food insecurity and participation in
CalFresh
,
the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in California,
among low-income 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.
