“…Socio-ecological models integrate the intrapersonal/individual, interpersonal, community, and organizational and public policy levels which interact and influence health behaviours ( de Villiers & Faber, 2019 ; Golden & Earp, 2012 ; McLaren & Hawe, 2005 ). Public policies can improve dietary behaviour by targeting specific intrapersonal/individual characteristics, such as family socioeconomic status (SES) and neighbourhood socioeconomic status (NSES), ( de Villiers & Faber, 2019 ; Golden & Earp, 2012 ; McLaren & Hawe, 2005 ). SES is a multidimensional concept that entails multiple related indicators ( Braveman et al, 2005 ).…”

“…Among other food products, fruits and vegetables (FV) are an important component of a healthy diet. In fact, adequate intake is widely reported to play a protective role for people's health (Kongsbak et al 2016;Angelino et al 2019;de Villier and Faber 2019) (e.g., regarding the prevention of health-related risks of some major lifestyle diseases 1 ). As the beneficial effect of FV on health is determined, the World Health Organization (WHO 2003) currently recommends an individual intake of at least 400 g of FV per person per day (or five portions).…”

On the association between risk attitude and fruit and vegetable consumption: insights from university students in Italy

As a novel contribution, this paper explores the possible association between individual risk attitudes and consumer fruit and vegetable (FV) intake. Inspired by the literature, the study also investigates the relationship between FV consumption frequency and health consciousness, perceived health benefits, trust, and attitude towards eating the recommended five-a-day FV portions. An ordered logit model is estimated on data collected through direct interviews among university students. The results show that risk aversion has a positive effect on consumer choice to eat the recommended number of FV servings, similar to the individual health consciousness and the perception of health benefits. The results pave the way for new research that aims to provide useful evidence for the implementation of new strategies to foster people’s FV intake in compliance with the five-a-day recommendation.

“…Socio-ecological theory posits that health outcomes and behaviors are influenced by complex and interacting factors across multiple levels of influence including the individual, social (family or social group), community, institutional, and policy levels [38,39]. Socioecological theory has been used in studies of food insecurity and it is the primary theoretical orientation of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2015-2020 [40][41][42]. From an ecological perspective, the health outcome of food insecurity is influenced by factors from across the socioecological model.…”

Food insecurity prevalence among disaster-affected households has been found to be higher than state prevalence in non-disaster times. This study applies a socio-ecological model of post-disaster food insecurity to a nested quota sample (n = 1002) recruited for a web survey from 41 Texas counties affected by Hurricane Harvey 12-15 months post-event. This analysis identifies risk and protective factors for food insecurity. Chi-square analysis was used to examine independent associations between individual, household, and social factors with food insecurity. A multivariate logistic model was fitted and adjusted odds ratios are reported. Economic instability (adjusted odds ratio (OR) 2.43; 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 1.73, 3.41), relocation due to Hurricane Harvey (OR 1.89; CI 1.15, 3.09), major home damage (OR 2.11; CI 1.12, 3.98), non-white race -black (OR 1.79; CI 1.01, 3.18), Hispanic (OR 1.67; CI 1.09, 2.54), other race (OR 4.39; CI 1.96, 9.82) -and community-based organization assistance (1.99; 1.11, 3.58) were risk factors while older age (45-64 years: 0.49; 0.32, 0.73; 65+ years 0.40; 0.22, 0.75), better physical health (0.46; 0.29, 0.71), better mental health (0.46; 0.32, 0.67), and high social support (0.37; 0.25, 0.55) were protective against food insecurity. Disaster policies and programs should address the disproportionate burden on households that relocate or have health conditions. Fostering social support networks, especially among relocated populations, may improve disaster health outcomes.
