D2a Is Risk of Homelessness a Barrier to Healthy Eating?

Thursday, May 21, 2020 at 9:00 AM–10:30 AM CDT
Room 2
Key Words

healthy eating, nutrition, homelessness, housing instability, food insecurity

Short Description

Homelessness has been associated with severe food insufficiency and poor health outcomes. This may be due to the unique social and environmental challenges to healthful food choices that housing instability presents in addition to economic hardship. This study uses data from the National Household Food Acquisition and Purchase Survey (FoodAPS) to examine whether housing instability is associated with various indicators of less healthful eating among low-income households. Findings from this study provide improved understanding of the mechanisms through which housing instability contributes to poor health outcomes.
