Food insecurity inequities among US adults: An application of intersectional multilevel analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy (I-MAIHDA) with random effects.
November 11, 2026 · Annals of epidemiology
Key takeaway
Food insecurity, or not having enough to eat, is much higher for Black adults, especially if you're younger, non-college educated, and dealing with anxiety or depression. This study shows our community faces a heavier burden, emphasizing the need for support that helps both our mental well-being and access to food.
Why this matters for our communities
Research in mental health helps close long-standing gaps in how Black and African American families are studied, diagnosed, and cared for. Use findings like this one to start informed conversations with your care team — not as a substitute for personal medical advice.
