Justin Denney is the lead author on a new publication in Social Problems, with Rachel Kimbro and former STAPH postdoc Gregory Sharp, entitled “Neighborhoods and Food Insecurity in Young Children: A Disadvantage Paradox?” Utilizing the ECLS-K: 2010-2011 data, the paper demonstrates that neighborhood concentrated disadvantage increases the risk of food insecurity – but mostly for non-poor children living in neighborhoods with higher concentrated disadvantage.
