Journal Article
Researchers examined associations between food security (FS) status and type 2 diabetes (T2D) prevalence and perceived T2D self-management by nativity and U.S. duration of residence among Latinos living in California. They used 2012–2017 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) and included Latinos who lived below 200% of the federal poverty line and for the management outcome, those with T2D.

California helps feed the nation and the world, producing more agriculture than any other state in the U.S. The vast majority — approximately 83% — of the essential agricultural workers who pick and produce the nation’s food are Latinx. Yet, in 2020, more than one in three Latinx adults across California lived in food-insecure households, according to data from the 2020 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS).

Policy Brief
Recent changes to immigration rules have expanded the number of public programs considered when identifying immigrants who are likely to become a “public charge,” or dependent on the government as their primary means of support. Policies and systems that perpetuate fear and confusion around immigration status contribute to the avoidance of public programs, which has serious implications for health and well-being.

Policy Brief
Food insecurity has increased significantly among low-income Californians over the last decade. In this policy brief, the authors use data from the 2009 California Health Interview Survey to show that 3.8 million adults in households with incomes at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) could not afford enough food at least once in the previous year. Low-income households with children and Spanish-speaking households suffered from the worst levels of food insecurity.

Policy Brief
This policy brief reports that, according to the 2005 California Health Interview Survey, more than 2.5 million low-income Californians (30%) cannot afford adequate food for their families on a consistent basis. For more than 775,000 adults, this problem is so severe that they frequently reduce the quality of their food intake or go hungry.
