Food Insecurity and Chronic Illnesses: Exploring the Link Nationally and Locally

Abstract

Much has been written about how the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted many health disparities in the United States. This proposed project is an exploratory case study to discover a possible link between food insecurity and chronic health conditions and how they were both impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Research will focus generally on the state of Indiana, and when available, it will focus more specifically on Clark County, Indiana. A conclusion will suggest some possible interventions.
