USC Dornsife News

USC Dornsife study finds that food insecurity fell 5% last year, but 25% of county households still struggle to put food on the table amid food program cuts and lingering high costs.

USC Dornsife study finds 1.4 million adults are affected by both food and nutrition insecurity, with young adults, Hispanics and Asians at greatest risk, potentially compromising their health.

New study analyzes where people eat beyond their home neighborhoods and points to new strategies for promoting healthy food choices.

New research spearheaded by USC Dornsife’s Public Exchange suggests that rates of food insecurity may be underreported by as much as one-third and that surveying more frequently to ask people about their recent experiences could produce better results.
