Abstract
Though the face of hunger has changed over the years, hunger in the United States continues to be a serious challenge affecting our nation's health. As periods of episodic food insecurity become more common, it is critically important to explore better ways to identify those at risk and to understand the consequences, especially in children. On March 5, 2010, the National Institutes of Health, Division of Nutrition Research Coordination, held a meeting entitled, “Hunger and Health: Focus on Childhood Hunger” in Bethesda, Maryland. This article provides a synopsis of the presentations covering food security assessment methods, community-level anti-hunger initiatives, and research to understand the determinants and health consequences of child hunger. Priority research gaps are identified. This article not subject to US copyright law.
