I’m back from 👶🏼 leave and excited to share our analysis of costs and cost-effectiveness of a subsidized #CommunitySupportedAgriculture intervention for HHs with children. link.springer.com/article/10… @osuhrs @Glenn_college @iha_tamu
As we collectively pursue more cross-sector solutions to persistent issues of #FoodInsecurity and other wicked #PublicHealth health problems, costing data is key to inform our public and private investments. 💵

“If you think about relationships first, you’ll get it right.” Yes! 🙌🏻 A great example of the social relationships at the core of successful #FoodIsMedicine initiatives.

“My rural [upbringing] was not this rural.” -critical (and relatable) acknowledgment by @KathrynEdin when discussing the deeply disadvantaged communities studied for ‘The Injustice of Place’. Rural communities warrant greater focus, and it’s key to recognize their heterogeneity.
❗ Join us later today for a #PolicyTalks about #SystemicPoverty with ‘Injustice of Place’ authors Luke Shaefer, @KathrynEdin and @Tijone alongside Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan COO Nicole Sherard-Freeman.
🗓️ Oct 4, 4:00-5:30 PM ET
📍 Annenberg Auditorium
See here for a helpful resource that groups rural regions based on 50 assets: reenvisioning-rural-america.… Food for thought: How can we leverage these insights to inform the sustainment and scaling of #healthequity interventions across rural contexts?

The practice of reflexivity isn’t just for qualitative science. 🪞
"For some, the notion that scientists are subject to human error and frailty weakens science in the public eye. But scientists shouldn’t be afraid to acknowledge their humanity," argues @hholdenthorp in a new Editor's Blog post. scim.ag/2AC

Congrats to Garner Research Group member Emily Kunkler for a great presentation and well-deserved award at the Russ Klein Nutrition Symposium! Proud of all your hard work! @MedDietOSU @osuhrs
#Rural communities experience significant #HealthDisparities but remain less likely than their urban counterparts to be included in #PreventiveMedicine research. Mail-based 📬 recruitment may help.
Proud of @osuhrs PhD Candidate Khawlah Al-Muhanna for leading this paper!

What great news! 🤩 Hearty congrats to Emily and Yang. It’s been my honor to work with both of them on their MDN capstone projects and I can attest that they represent the best of our profession and its potential.
Congratulations to 2nd year MDN students Emily Kunkler and Yang Liu on their Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics scholarships. Emily received the F. Lucille Johnson Memorial Scholarship & Yang received the Renee G. Paoloantonio Scholarship. 👏👏

@Jimmieka_Mills reminds us: “When we’re talking about data, we’re talking about people, we’re talking about lives.” And Mia Ives-Rublee of @amprog highlights how #disability is an under-appreciated cause AND consequence of #foodinsecurity. #WHConfHungerHealth
@OdomsYoung highlights how the newest generations of researchers are pushing against old norms of scholarship and centering #livedexperience in our work. Thanks for your example, Dr. Odoms-Young. 🙏🏻 #WHConfHungerHealth
Senator Bill Frist during #WHConfHungerHealth: “Cross sector partnerships are absolutely fundamental to moving the needle.” What are best practices for sustaining and scaling such partnerships? Some ideas for #rural communities: PMC6858126

@RepMcGovern on how we can tackle the National Strategy for Hunger, Nutrition, and Health: “We don’t need to reinvent the wheel. We need to uplift best practices.” Yes! 🙌🏻Communities have been innovating on this for decades. Let’s elevate and align that work! #WHConfHungerHealth

Proud of @KatharineG_RD, @MedDietOSU @osuhrs PhD student, for a great presentation on our team’s systematic review of qual, quant, and MM studies of short value chain healthy eating interventions. #SNEB2022

Result from this VERY comprehensive review effort are going to be critical to informing our team’s assessment of where to take our #foodsystem science next and how to bring even more #rigor to the study of applicable intervention models.
Rare evening meeting tonight. Feeling the ❤️-warming whiplash of going from discussing grant aims to catching end of bedtime routine and arguing with 3yo about I am not also wearing #BabyShark pajamas. 😅@Momademia
Exciting work ahead with @joshuajosephmd, @D_M_Walk, @mofcollective, @healthimpactOH, and so many others to execute & study this cross-sector #FoodInsecurity intervention with and for patients with #diabetes. medicine.osu.edu/news/diabet… @osuhrs @Glenn_college
Honored to partner with @D_M_Walk + a team of OSU & community partners @mofcollective @healthimpactOH @drclark2000 @JGarnerResearch @mcalearney + more to improve #diabetes in individuals living with #FoodInsecurity

If you are having to choose between food and medical expenses, you are not food secure. These trade-offs have critical ripple effects for their life, their health, and our #healthcare system. To achieve #healthequity, we need to do more than provide #FoodAssistance once insecure.
How we measure and report #SDOH is essential to #healthequity. According to the @USDA, only ~10% of families are #foodinsecure. However, the 2014 #HungerInAmerica studied showed that 66% of families in the US had to choose between food and medical care.
SIXTY-SIX PERCENT! 😳

An Op-ed worth the read. This is a #foodpolicy worth questioning, especially given what we know about #foodsecurity as a social risk for myriad health burdens (and costs). Clear need for more #systemsthinking when considering the design and impacts of #socialpolicy.
