Food assistance programs, such as the National School Lunch Program (NSLP); the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program; and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), address barriers to accessing healthy food.28,29,30,31 Studies show these programs may reduce food insecurity.29,30,31 More research is needed to understand food insecurity and its influence on health outcomes and disparities. Future studies should consider characteristics of communities and households that influence food insecurity.32 This additional evidence will facilitate public health efforts to address food insecurity as a social determinant of health.
