  • Cross-sectional studies have linked food insecurity to poor health and dietary outcomes, but it's unclear if improvements in food security can positively affect these factors.
  • In a longitudinal study involving adults in a New York City food assistance program, researchers measured food security and self-reported dietary habits over six months.
