Household Food Insecurity and Mental Health Problems Among Adolescents: What Do Parents Report?

Objective: To investigate whether adolescents living in households with food insecurity have poorer parent-reported mental health (MH) than peers.

Methods: We analyzed cross-sectional data from ∼8600 adolescents who participated in the 2007 (8th grade) wave of the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Kindergarten. Household food insecurity (HFI) was assessed by parental report on the 18-item US Household Food Security Scale.

Adult household smoking is associated with increased child emotional and behavioral problems.

Context: Although maternal smoking has been associated with child emotional and behavioral problems, to our knowledge, no study has evaluated the association between overall household smoking and such problems.

Objectives: To investigate whether children who live with smokers are more likely than children who do not live with smokers to have emotional or behavioral problems and to explore this association in households with nonsmoking mothers.

Design, Setting, And Participants: Nationally representative data from the 2000 to 2004 medical expenditure panel surveys, involving 30,668 children aged 5 to 17 years, were used.
