Abstract Created by REACH
Access to proper nutrition in military families is important for improved military readiness. Researchers surveyed 248 households in order to describe the presence of food insecurity (i.e., having limited availability of nutritionally adequate, affordable foods) in military families. Results revealed that one in seven military families experienced food insecurity.
