Ricardo Kairios, Family and Community Health Sciences Educator/Assistant Professor, had the honor of presenting research at the 2024 New Jersey Society for Public Health Education (NJSOPHE) Annual Meeting on Friday, December 6. His poster, Exploring SNAP Enrollment Challenges Among Caregivers in New Jersey: Leveraging Schools to Support Outreach, was featured in the conference’s Health Education & Program Implementation track.
Conference attendees gained an understanding of the key challenges to SNAP enrollment faced by families and explored how schools can play a critical role in outreach efforts to reduce food insecurity in their communities. The SNAP Gap project team extends its gratitude to the focus group participants, interviewees, and survey respondents for their time and honest feedback. This research was funded by the New Jersey Department of Agriculture (NJDA) in collaboration with the Office of the Food Security Advocate (OFSA).
