This book was released on 2013-04-23 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many Americans who live at or below the poverty threshold, access to healthy foods at a reasonable price is a challenge that often places a strain on already limited resources and may compel them to make food choices that are contrary to current nutritional guidance. To help alleviate this problem, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) administers a number of nutrition assistance programs designed to improve access to healthy foods for low-income individuals and households. The largest of these programs is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly called the Food Stamp Program, which today serves more than 46 million Americans with a program cost in excess of $75 billion annually. The goals of SNAP include raising the level of nutrition among low-income households and maintaining adequate levels of nutrition by increasing the food purchasing power of low-income families. In response to questions about whether there are different ways to define the adequacy of SNAP allotments consistent with the program goals of improving food security and access to a healthy diet, USDA's Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) asked the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to conduct a study to examine the feasibility of defining the adequacy of SNAP allotments, specifically: the feasibility of establishing an objective, evidence-based, science-driven definition of the adequacy of SNAP allotments consistent with the program goals of improving food security and access to a healthy diet, as well as other relevant dimensions of adequacy; and data and analyses needed to support an evidence-based assessment of the adequacy of SNAP allotments. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program: Examining the Evidence to Define Benefit Adequacy reviews the current evidence, including the peer-reviewed published literature and peer-reviewed government reports. Although not given equal weight with peer-reviewed publications, some non-peer-reviewed publications from nongovernmental organizations and stakeholder groups also were considered because they provided additional insight into the behavioral aspects of participation in nutrition assistance programs. In addition to its evidence review, the committee held a data gathering workshop that tapped a range of expertise relevant to its task.

Book Synopsis The Impact of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (snap, Formerly Food Stamp) Participation on Food Purchasing Practices, Diet Quality, and Food Insecurity Among Low-income Older Adults by : Temitope Aiyejorun Walker
Download or read book The Impact of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (snap, Formerly Food Stamp) Participation on Food Purchasing Practices, Diet Quality, and Food Insecurity Among Low-income Older Adults written by Temitope Aiyejorun Walker and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SNAP provides food-purchasing assistance for low-income Americans to alleviate hunger and improve nutrition. However, little is known about how SNAP benefits affect the household's food purchasing practices (FPP), diet quality, and food insecurity especially among low-income older adults whose SNAP participation has been typically lower than younger age groups. The goal of this study is to better understand the changes in FPP, diet quality, and food insecurity with the receipt of SNAP benefits among SNAP-eligible non-participating older adults in Georgia. A longitudinal mixed-methods approach was employed based on a natural experiment following a sample of low-income older Georgians (n=10) as they navigated the SNAP application process. An established SNAP application assistance model was utilized to help the study participants. The impact of SNAP benefit receipt was assessed using in-person interviews, interviewer-administered surveys, grocery receipt collection, and grocery shopping trip observations at three time points: 1) before SNAP benefit receipt, 2) one month after SNAP benefit receipt, and 3) three months after SNAP benefit receipt. Both qualitative and quantitative exploratory data analyses were conducted. At baseline, SNAP-eligible participants reported higher financial constraints, poorer food insecurity, but comparable diet quality in comparison to the general older adult population. The impact of SNAP participation was evident in increasing shifts in household expenditure patterns for food purchased for consumption and improved food security at midpoint. There were notable changes in six FPP constructs and related distinct practices following SNAP benefit receipt such as changes in the types of food purchased and the strategies employed in their purchase. Overall diet quality was not significantly improved after three months of SNAP benefit receipt, but there were significant increases in the intake quality of select nutrients of concern including saturated fat and sodium. The findings of this study provide a more in-depth conceptual understanding of the underlying mechanism of how SNAP benefits affect food and nutrition-related decision-making processes and behavior changes. These findings also support the feasibility of key strategies used in targeting and recruiting low-income older adults for SNAP research and the value of SNAP application assistance in evaluating the impact of SNAP participation.

This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family caregiving affects millions of Americans every day, in all walks of life. At least 17.7 million individuals in the United States are caregivers of an older adult with a health or functional limitation. The nation's family caregivers provide the lion's share of long-term care for our older adult population. They are also central to older adults' access to and receipt of health care and community-based social services. Yet the need to recognize and support caregivers is among the least appreciated challenges facing the aging U.S. population. Families Caring for an Aging America examines the prevalence and nature of family caregiving of older adults and the available evidence on the effectiveness of programs, supports, and other interventions designed to support family caregivers. This report also assesses and recommends policies to address the needs of family caregivers and to minimize the barriers that they encounter in trying to meet the needs of older adults.
