Extractions: Footnotes Hunger in Ohio: Making Ends Meet How can nutrition programs help low-income families make ends meet? Even working families can have a very difficult time meeting all of their expenses, such as rent, utilities, and food. Because food is a variable expense, many low-income families spend less on groceries in order to pay for these other costs. Whether they purchase low-cost foods that lack nutrition or cut back on meals to save money, such behavior is dangerous for the health and well-being of all members of the family, especially children. But federal nutrition programs can help low-income families purchase the food they need to keep themselves healthy and nourished. Consider the following example: The Anderson Family

The Wayne County Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (W.I.C.) is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Ohio Department of Health. The primary goal is to improve maternal and child nutrition and ultimately health status by providing not only supplemental foods (milk, eggs, cheese, infant formula, etc.), but also nutrition education. The Program provides nutrition education for pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding women, infants, and children under five years of age. The Federal program provides grants to States for supplemental foods, health care referrals, and nutrition education for low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and non-breastfeeding postpartum women, and to infants and children who are found to be at nutritional risk.

Extractions: Valerie A. Ubbes, PhD, CHES Position Associate Professor Scholarly and Professional Focus: My scholarship focuses on the professional preparation of teachers within health education, especially the ways in which health education has ties with other academic disciplines in education (preK-16). To date, health education has had only implicit ties to the education literature, borrowing mostly from the behavioral science literatures of psychology and sociology, and to a lesser extent, the historical roots of medicine. My primary interest is the relationship between education and health which explicitly connects health education to the field of public education rather than a more typical focus on public health. Although I am interested in how both public education and public health inform the discipline of health education, my developing work in educational renewal involves critical reflection and interpretation on how to frame these issues for future teachers, including teacher educators. The following are the foci of my research, teaching, and service: (1) How constructivism theory supports teachers to understand and think critically about their ongoing decisions around curriculum, instruction, and assessment, including the triadic effect of these factors on all participants in the teaching-learning process;

Medicaid, Healthy Start, and Healthy Families offer free or subsidized health insurance coverage, direct medical services or other help. This chapter provides summary information about these programs and contact information for further assistance. Medicaid is a program that provides health coverage to some low-income Ohio residents. Medicaid covers families with children and pregnant women, the elderly, and people with disabilities, if state and federal guidelines are met. Those who qualify for Medicaid programs must be Ohio residents and U.S. citizens. Additionally, certain legal residents who are not U.S. citizens may be eligible for coverage. Non-citizens who do not have immigration documents cannot enroll in Medicaid programs. For all categories of Medicaid, eligibility is based on the amount of your household income. For children with family incomes over 150% of the federal poverty level, eligibility is restricted to uninsured children who have not had health insurance for at least 6 months. For those who are applying for coverage because they are elderly or have a disability, eligibility is also based on the amount of assets an individual may have. Assets are things like cash, savings, stocks and bonds, etc. Contact your local county department of job and family services for more information.
