简要总结
The 2010 Child Nutrition Reauthorization provided funding to test innovative strategies to end childhood hunger and food insecurity. Demonstration projects were funded in Chickasaw Nation, Kentucky, Navajo Nation, Nevada, and Virginia. This study focuses on Nevada.
SNAP households were randomly assigned to receive either: (1) $40 extra in SNAP benefits per eligible child (<5 years) per month; (2) $40 extra in SNAP benefits per eligible child per month plus case management and nutrition education; or (3) only regular monthly SNAP benefit. The first two groups were the treatment arms and the third was the control group.
详细描述
Objectives: To (1) reduce food insecurity among children; (2) increase enrollment in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) and other nutrition assistance programs; and (3) improve nutrition and healthy shopping habits through nutrition education.
Target Population: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) households with children under age 5 and incomes below 75 percent of the Federal Poverty Level living in Clark County, Las Vegas, Nevada.
Intervention: SNAP households were randomly assigned to receive either: (1) $40 extra in SNAP benefits per eligible child (<5 years) per month; (2) $40 extra in SNAP benefits per eligible child per month plus case management and nutrition education; or (3) only regular monthly SNAP benefit. The first two groups were the treatment arms and the third was the control group.
The two treatment groups were ultimately combined because of the low uptake of case management and nutrition education.
