"...We are currently collecting data for a study called: Childhood Stress: A Qualitative Analysis of the intergenerational circumstances of child hunger. This study, funded by the USDA through the University of Kentucky Center for Poverty Research. The objective of this study is to build on our strong preliminary evidence that adult caregivers' adverse childhood experiences are associated with food security status among their young children. Specifically, the more adverse childhood experiences adult caregivers had, the more likely it is that they reported their young children were low or very low food secure. With a stratified random sample of 30 caregivers of young children under age 4 who reported low food security or very low food security at the household level, this study proposes to investigate how stress-related individual and household characteristics are associated with the intergenerational transmission of child food insecurity or hunger."
