Abstract Created by REACH
Purpose: The Military REACH team was asked to compile an annotated bibliography providing a general overview of the prevalence of and potential risk factors for food insecurity, including (but not limited to) military families. In addition, the Military REACH team was asked to identify research on programs that may mitigate food insecurity. Thus, research on the effectiveness of programs to reduce food insecurity and articles that addressed policy implications were included. Further, a list of resources that have been designed to address food insecurity was provided. Given that the COVID-19 pandemic has increased issues related to food insecurity, the Military REACH team also included research on the impacts of COVID-19 on food insecurity.
