Purpose The purpose of this study is to explore the associations between food insecurity (FI) and coping strategies of relevance to diabetes self-management among households of people with diabetes (HHDM) who access US food pantry programs. Methods The authors conducted a secondary data analysis of HHDM accessing US food pantry programs from the Hunger in America 2014 study ( n = 16 826). Weighted analyses included descriptive statistics for household sociodemographics, food pantry service utilization, FI, and coping behaviors. The authors used chi-square and logistic regression to estimate the relationship between FI and coping behaviors. Results Nearly one-half of HHDM reported visiting food pantries at least 6 times in the past year. Most HHDM were FI, with the majority experiencing the most severe form of FI. Over one-fifth of households reported lacking health insurance. The majority of HHDM reported purchasing inexpensive unhealthy foods to ensure household food adequacy, and many reported watering down food and beverages. The odds of reporting these behaviors significantly increased as FI worsened. Conclusion Food pantries represent an opportunity for the delivery of community-based diabetes self-management education and support programs. These programs should be adapted to address population barriers to self-management and to support access to healthful foods and medical care.

This paper evaluated the relationship between chief executive officers’ gender and firm performance. Therefore, the specific objectives of the paper were: 1) to evaluate the relationship between the CEO’s gender and company turnover; 2) to assess the relationship, the CEO’s gender and share price; 3) to examine the relationship between the CEO’s gender and net profit. The paper applied the positivist research method, which is a quantitative approach as it sought to measure the relationship between variables. Secondary Data on CEO gender, turnover, share price and net profit were collected from the archives of integrated report of 16 JSE SRI Companies that had a complete disclosure of the research variables. The paper used the Chi-square statistics (Phi and Cramer’s V tests) to test the relationship between CEO gender, turnover, share price and net profit. Findings from the statistical results showed that the Phi and Cramer’s V test gave a P value greater than 0.05 (P>0.05), which shows that within the sample of companies, there is no significant relationship between CEO’s gender, net profit, share price and turnover. The research concludes and recommends that gender might not necessarily affect performance, at least within the sample of companies, therefore, there should be no gender discrimination on CEO’s position. Women should, therefore, receive support to assume the position of CEO. This finding provides an agenda for further research to use broader sample across industry sectors to examine this relationship further, as gender is an important component of sustainable development goals.
