Abstract

ABSTRACT This study investigates the heightened food-related challenges and concerns faced by households with special dietary needs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using logistic and ordinal regression on data from the National Food Access and COVID Research Team (NFACT) survey in New Mexico, we found that such households experienced greater food insecurity, difficulty finding affordable and appropriate food, and increased worries about food safety, prices, and availability compared to those without special dietary needs. The findings emphasize the necessity for policy makers and emergency planners to develop inclusive food security strategies that accommodate diverse dietary needs, particularly in crisis situations.
