their newborns; and (3) examine whether depressive symptoms, anxiety, nutrition and/or weight gain mediate these associations. This study extends prior research by differentiating between acute and chronic food insecurity, examining the effects of food insecurity on birth outcomes in a unique sample of urban adolescents, and attempting to understand the underlying mechanisms driving this association. Results may have implications for inter-generational effects of food insecurity on pregnant adolescents and their children. birth weight via the mediator of depressive symptoms. Acute food insecurity was associated with lower birth weight via the mediator of depressive symptoms. Food insecurity is related to these adverse birth outcomes, as well as to poor maternal mental health (depressive symptoms and anxiety) and health behaviors (nutrition). These findings contribute to a growing body of research that suggests food insecurity during pregnancy has a significant impact on birth outcomes. 13–15 By differentiating between acute and chronic food insecurity, we demonstrate that even acute food insecurity is associated with adverse birth outcomes. This is consistent with other research which has shown that even marginal food insecurity has negative effects on health, and is therefore important to examine. 40 Depressive symptoms and stress during pregnancy have been shown to be a risk factor for adverse outcomes for mothers and babies. 41 Our findings extend prior research by identifying depressive symptoms as an important mediator in the association between food insecurity and birth outcomes. outcomes once they are born. Caregivers in households struggling financially often have higher emotional distress and depressive symptoms, which adversely affects children’s health. This study highlights the importance of food insecurity for children’s health – both among adolescent mothers and their offspring. Programs and policies should target these vulnerable children to stem the “multi-generational” effects of food insecurity. Further research should be conducted on the effects of food insecurity during pregnancy for both mothers and children. Longitudinal studies following vulnerable mothers and their children should also be conducted to understand the effects of food insecurity across the lifespan.
