| Award Year: 2001 |
| Amount of award, fiscal 2001: $48,581.00 |
| Institution: University of Tennessee |
| Principal Investigator: Betsy Haughton |
| Status: Completed |
| Detailed Objective: This project will examine the relationships of food sufficiency, diet quality, and food consumption patterns among children 2- to 8-years-old living in households with incomes less than or equal to 185 percent of the Federal poverty level. Children's eating pattern typologies will be identified using cluster analysis and differences by household food sufficiency status will be determined. The project will explore the impact of coping strategies on adequacy, diversity, and dietary patterns of children income-eligible for food assistance as household food sufficiency status decreases. |
