About: OBJECTIVE: To describe changes in families’ home food environment and parent feeding practices, from before to during COVID‐19, and examine if changes differed by food security status. METHODS: Parents (N=584) in the US completed a single online survey, reporting on food security, home food availability, and feeding practices both retrospectively (considering before COVID‐19) and currently (during COVID‐19). Chi‐squares and univariate regressions examined associations by food security status. RESULTS: The percent of families reporting very low food security increased by 20% from before to during COVID‐19 (p<0.01). About one‐third of families increased the amount of high‐calorie snack foods, desserts/sweets, and fresh foods in their home; 47% increased non‐perishable processed foods. Concern about child overweight increased during COVID‐19, with a greater increase for food insecure vs. secure parents (p<0.01). Use of restriction, pressure to eat, and monitoring increased, with a greater increase in pressure to eat for parents with food insecurity compared to food secure parents (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: During COVID‐19, increases in very low food security and changes in the home food environment and parent feeding practices were observed. Results highlight the need to address negative impacts of COVID‐19 on children’s obesity risk, particularly among those facing health disparities.   Goto Sponge  NotDistinct  Permalink
