Abstract People with intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD) face higher levels of poverty than others, which can lead to concerns regarding areas of well-being, such as food security. Young adults with IDD who are, in many cases, transitioning from the system of educational, health care, and income supports of their youth into the adult world may be particularly vulnerable. Using pooled data from the 2011–2014 National Health Interview Survey, we find that young adults with IDD have significantly higher levels of food insecurity than young adults without disabilities, even when controlling for poverty. Young adults with IDD who are living in low-income households are not significantly more likely to participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) than young adults without disabilities who are also living in low-income households. Although our results suggest that SNAP is effectively reaching many young adults with IDD in need of nutrition assistance, further research is needed to determine the specific effects of food insecurity and SNAP participation on overall economic and health outcomes for this population.

Abstract Background Food insecurity is a pressing public health problem. Lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) people are at risk for food insecurity, yet this issue remains grossly understudied among this population. The purpose of this study was to add to the existing literature surrounding food insecurity and the use of Federal food assistance programs (SNAP) among LGB people. Methods This study used publicly available, de-identified data from the 2017 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). Primary variables were sexual orientation, food security status, and receipt of SNAP. Food security was assessed using the 10-item USDA Family Food Security measure. Results In our sample, people who identified as bisexual had the highest rates of food insecurity (23.8%, n = 76). Female sexual minorities were 52% more likely to experience food insecurity (aOR = 1.518, 95% CI 1.105–2.087, p = .01) and 44% more likely to report household SNAP assistance than their heterosexual counterparts (aOR = 1.441, 95% CI 1.025-2.028, p = .03). SNAP partially mediated the association between sexual orientation and food insecurity for LGB females. Conclusions Our findings add to the growing empirical evidence documenting food insecurities among sexual minority adults. Our results reiterate the need for sexual orientation to be included in nationally representative federal food security measures.

Background: The burden of cardiometabolic disease and associated risk factors including overweight/obesity, diabetes and hypertension is high in ethnic minorities in the United States (US). The size of the immigrant population in the US continues to grow rapidly. It has been posited that acculturation to the US society results in an elevation or reduction of risk for cardiometabolic disease in immigrants. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that increased years of US residence (proxy measure for acculturation) would be associated with a higher prevalence of overweight/obesity, diabetes and hypertension, known risk factors for cardiometabolic disease, in US immigrants. Methods: We analyzed data on adult US immigrants in the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) from 2010-2014. The immigrants were from the following 9 regions of birth: Europe, South America, Mexico/Central America/Caribbean, Russia, Africa, Middle East, India, Central and Southeast Asia. The main independent variable was length of US residence; <10 years and ≥10 years. The main outcome variables were hypertension, overweight/obesity and diabetes. We used multivariable logistic regression to examine these associations and adjusted for known confounders. Results: Of the 54,984 immigrants, 62% were overweight/obese, 20 % had hypertension and 8% had diabetes. The mean age (± SE) was 43 (±0.15) years. Half were females and those who had resided in the US for ≥10 years were more likely to have health insurance coverage (70% vs 54%, p<0.001) and older (46 years vs 35years, p<0.001) compared to immigrants with <10 years of duration of stay. After adjusting for region of birth, poverty income ratio, age and sex, we observed that immigrants residing in the US for ≥10 years were more likely to be overweight/obese (Odds Ratio[OR] 1.21, 95% CI 1.11-1.31), diabetic (OR: 1.58, 95% CI 1.32-1.90) and hypertensive(OR: 1.34, 95% CI 1.19-1.50) than those residing in the US for <10 years. Conclusion: In an ethnically diverse sample of contemporary US immigrants, we found that increased length of US residence (acculturation) was associated with overall presence of cardiometabolic risk factors. Culturally-tailored public health strategies should be developed and implemented in immigrant sub-populations in the US to prevent the development of cardiometabolic disease.

The objective of this study was to identify and describe the number of sexual minority and heterosexual young adults who will be impacted by the new “Tobacco 21” law signed by President Trump in December 2019. Data came from the 2015 to 2018 National Health Interview Survey. We used descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic regression to identify key risk factors for tobacco use among adults aged 18–20 years by sexual orientation. Sexual minority tobacco users were more likely to be women, have a high school degree or less, and not living with a parent. Sexual minority tobacco users share similarities with heterosexual tobacco users, but they may remain a hard-to-reach population for tobacco cessation interventions.
