Abstract

While the 2019 national rate of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participation was 85% of eligible individuals, the Indiana participation rate was considerably lower at 75% (USDA FNS, 2019). Given the relationship between food insecurity and public health, closing the gap between SNAP participation and food-insecure households with young children would increase health equity across Indiana. Our community-involved project investigated the SNAP application process and barriers to successful SNAP participation among food-insecure households with young children in Indiana.
