title: Food security and dietary intake in midwest migrant farmworker children.
abstract: This article is a descriptive cross-sectional study with Latino migrant farmworker (MFW) families in Ohio. A demographic questionnaire, the U.S. Household Food Security Survey (USHFSS), and the Food Frequency Questionnaire were self-administered. Participants (N = 50) were primarily mothers of children with ages 2 to 13 years. USHFSS was 30% high, 18% marginal, 44% low, and 8% very low. Only 22% of the children met the minimum MyPyramid daily recommended food-group servings for age and gender. Knowledge gained from these data will influence development of culturally appropriate nutrition interventions to help Latino MFW families achieve healthier nutrition and weight in their children.
