Using restricted, geo-coded Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 2010-2011 data (N = 2700) linked with 3 sources of contextual data, we examine whether a comprehensive set of individual, household, and county-level characteristics explains disparities in household food insecurity between Hispanic children of foreign- and US-born parents. Adjusting for individual, household, and county-level characteristics does not eliminate the higher odds of household food insecurity among Hispanic children in immigrant families, especially of Mexican origin. Moreover, growth in the noncitizen population at the county level is associated with food insecurity among Hispanic families, though the impact differs by parental nativity.

The COVID-19 pandemic may have exacerbated mental health conditions by introducing and/or modifying stressors, particularly in university populations. We examined longitudinal patterns, time-varying predictors, and contemporaneous correlates of moderate-severe psychological distress (MS-PD) among college students. During 2020-2021, participants completed self-administered questionnaires quarterly (T1 = 562, T2 = 334, T3 = 221, and T4 = 169).

Virtual fencing (VF) is a modern fencing technology using Global Positioning System-enabled collars which emit acoustic signals and, if the animal does not respond, electric pulses. Studies with cattle indicate successful learning and no distinct negative impact on the animals' behaviours and stress level. However, the number of studies testing VF with goats is relatively small.

Background/objectives: Food-insecure individuals are at risk for poor health outcomes, including substandard sleep health. A possible association of food insecurity with sleep regularity has not been explored, and factors contributing to the relationship between food insecurity and sleep are not well understood. This cross-sectional study explored the relationship between food insecurity and sleep regularity and identified specific nutrients that mediated the association.

Adverse mental health issues have been reported among food insecure households in addition to physical and nutritional complications. Caregivers in food insecure families tend to adopt different coping mechanisms to mitigate the effects of food insecurity (FI) on their children.
