Cross-sectional study of food insecurity and medical expenditures by race and ethnicity (DEC, 10.1080/13557858.2022.2161090, 2022)

The study expanded our understanding of food insecurity by investigating how it affected seven types of medical expenditures for each of four racial populations. An interdisciplinary effort is needed to enhance the food supply for minorities. Policy interventions to address intra-racial disparities among Hispanics and inter-racial disparities among African Americans are imperative to close the gap.
