Child Care Feeding Programs Associated With Food Security and Health for Young Children From Families With Low Incomes
Lead author Stephanie Ettinger de Cuba, PhD, MPH, recaps study results: kids with child care-provided meals were 30% less likely to live in food-insecure households, 39% less likely to be in fair or poor health, and 41% less likely to be admitted to the hospital from the ED, compared to those with parent-provided meals and snacks. The study also bolsters evidence of the benefits of child care feeding programs, specifically CACFP. (10.1016/j.jand.2023.06.003)
