    Abstract Food prescription programs (Food Rx) have the potential to improve management of diet-related chronic diseases or underlying conditions such as type 2 diabetes (T2D), hypertension, and high body mass index (BMI) among food-insecure patients. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of a Food Rx program implemented in two community-based clinics in Florida. Data were collected through researcher-administered surveys (food insecurity, demographics, and socio-economic variables) and biometric data (HbA1c, blood pressure, and BMI). Key results include the following: (1) Hispanic patients are more likely to utilize the program than their Black and White counterparts (

    Abstract Objective: To describe the experiences of first-time visitors with low food security seeking food assistance during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.
    Design: A qualitative study.
    Setting: Emergency food distribution sites in West Central Florida.
    Participants: Adults (aged 18-64 years) seeking food assistance between November, 2020 and July, 2021.
    Phenomenon of interest: Using food security as a multidimensional concept, in-depth interviews explored the impact of emergency food assistance on food availability, access, utilization, and stability.
    Analysis: Applied thematic analysis was conducted to identify emergent themes.
    Results: Participants (n = 18) were White (55.6%), female (72.2%), and aged 40-59 years (55.6%). Seven salient themes described participants' experience seeking food assistance (eg, the crisis resulting in seeking food assistance, mixed quality of pantry foods, and gaining firsthand insight on hunger). Although food assistance increased food availability and access, there were barriers to using the pantry foods (eg, foods not preferred, health/allergies).
    Conclusions and implications: Study findings suggest that first-time visitors seeking emergency food assistance during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic may be experiencing temporary cycles of financial instability, which could impact dietary quality. Because pantry foods are often the primary source of household food supply, client-focused emergency food distribution tailored to client needs can increase food availability, access, and utilization.

    Abstract College students experience food insecurity at higher rates than the general population, which has been found to be directly and indirectly associated with poor mental and physical health in addition to academic success. Since the rise of the COVID-19 pandemic, mounting evidence has demonstrated an increase in food insecurity rates in the U.S. The current study assessed food insecurity and its associated impacts on health and academic success among college students at a large urban university (n = 1743). Results revealed 46.8% of students as food insecure with statistically significant differences in race/ethnicity, GPA, and hours worked per week. Students who were observed with any level of food insecurity were more likely to also experience challenges with academics, careers, procrastination, and faculty as compared to their food secure counterparts. Analysis of differences in well-being indicators by food insecurity status revealed that students with any level of food insecurity were observed with statistically significantly higher mean scores for psychological distress, loneliness, and suicide behavior, with reduced scores for flourishing and resiliency as compared to their food secure counterparts. Implications for post-COVID-19 programming to mitigate food insecurity and associated public health issues associated with the COVID-19 and future pandemics are discussed.

    Abstract Background: New federal health guidance was issued for early childhood education (ECE) programs to reduce the risk of COVID-19 in March 2020. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended mask-wearing for adults and children aged 2 years and older. Wearing masks was a new practice for teachers and children, and this study investigated when and how masks were worn in ECE centers in Florida.
    Methods: This study was part of a larger assessment of the impact of COVID-19 on mealtime routines in ECE centers. Two statewide surveys based on the Trust Model were sent to directors and teachers via Florida Department of Children and Families. Only teachers were interviewed. Data were collected from August to October 2020. The analysis included survey results and interview responses related to mask-wearing.
    Results: Surveys were completed by 759 directors and 431 teachers, and 29 teachers were interviewed. Survey results indicated that more teachers than children wore masks during pre- and postmeal activities. Interviews revealed three models that explain mask-wearing: (1) teachers only, in which teachers were required to wear a mask, but children were not; (2) teachers and children, in which teachers and children were required to wear a mask; and (3) masks optional, in which teachers and children could choose to wear a mask.
    Conclusion: Understanding how decisions about mask-wearing were made at the center level can inform training and support health and safety in ECE. Use of personal protective equipment (such as masks) is effective for reducing risk of pathogen transmission for children and adults in ECE settings.

    Abstract Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic changed early care and education (ECE) mealtimes. Feeding practices that support children's emerging autonomy may support children's healthy eating, but it is unknown whether and how COVID-19 changed feeding practices. This paper describes caregiver feeding practices in ECE centres in Florida during COVID-19.
    Design: A mixed-methods design was used to understand mealtime feeding practices. Survey and interview questions were developed based on the Trust Model. More than 7000 surveys were sent to ECE centres. Analysis included descriptive statistics for survey data and thematic analysis for interview data.
    Setting: This statewide study included teachers in all licensed and license-exempt ECE centres.
    Participants: Four hundred and thirty-one teachers completed a survey, and twenty-nine participated in follow-up interviews.
    Results: Surveys showed most teachers engaged in autonomy-supportive behaviours, such as letting children eat until they were finished (90 %). The most common controlling behaviour was praising children for cleaning their plates (70 %). The most common responses about changes to mealtimes were keeping physical distance and serving healthy food. Interview themes were
    Conclusions: Mealtimes are a central part of the day for young children and teachers in ECE environments. COVID-19 continues to influence ECE routines as behaviour change remains the primary method of reducing the risk of COVID-19 in the absence of a vaccine for young children. Understanding teachers' practices and perspectives is important for reducing the risk of COVID-19 and supporting children's autonomy and healthy eating.

    Abstract Compared with the general population, the prevalence of food insecurity (FI) is higher among college students. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated FI disparities and highlighted the need for further research to better understand and address FI in this population. Although race and ethnicity are two of the strongest predictors of FI among college students, little research is available on the determinants of FI among racial/ethnic minority college students.
