Author(s): Joel Halverson, Cheryl Brown, Melissa Olfert, Melissa Ahern, Christian Abildso
Research center: West Virginia Rural Health Research Center
Topics: Environmental & agricultural health, Public health
Date: 06 / 2011
This project will examine the characteristics of food security and food availability across the rural-urban continuum. The study will test the hypotheses that food insecurity will differ significantly between rural and urban counties in the US with rural areas experiencing more adverse conditions; and that there will be a significant relationship between food insecurity, food availability and selected adverse health outcomes in non-metropolitan counties in the US.
