From Health Affairs

Dear John,

ICYMI, we wrapped up the first season of our health equity podcast,
Research and Justice For All
.

Throughout the inaugural season, the series has provided perspectives on
how to dismantle unjust systems and structures that have long impacted
health outcomes in historically marginalized populations.

Catch up on all six episodes below!

Disparities In Food Insecurity

In the October issue of Health Affairs, Milkie Vu and coauthors examine
food insecurity and participation in
CalFresh
,
the California-implemented Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
(SNAP), among low-income Asian American adults from six origin groups.

The authors determine that across these groups, there were high and
varied levels of food insecurity, with the highest burden among Filipino
adults at 40 percent.

Participation in CalFresh also varied but was generally low, ranging
from 11 percent among Korean adults to 20 percent among Vietnamese
adults.

Vu and coauthors conclude that "culturally tailored, linguistically
appropriate interventions that incorporate target outreach, consider
unique needs and assets, and involve partnership with trusted
communities agencies" may be more effective than one-size-fits-all food
insecurity programs.

To learn more about the article, watch a video abstract

below featuring author Milkie Vu.

And take a moment to revisit our Health Policy Brief from this year
about Measuring and Addressing Nutrition Security To Achieve Health and
Health Equity
