SNAP and Food Environment

The latest issue of the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics is out. The Geohealth Lab @ CRSSA contributed to one of the cover stories, Participation in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and Dietary Behaviors: Role of Community Food Environment. With seven coauthors, it is clear evidence of the value of multidisciplinary Team Science. But the lead author is Dr. Cori Lorts whose work deserves cover page attention. The paper look at how children relying on SNAP are impacted, also, by where they live and the food environment of their neighborhood.
