  6. Intervention strategies in foodinsecurity

  7. Objective To assess the effects of interventions conducted by community organizations in the Montreal Metropolitan Region to address the food security and health of their users, and to generate evidence-based data on the effects of two different strategies to fight food insecurity

  8. Description of the study • Longitudinal study of newly recruited participants in traditional and alternative food security interventions. • Participants selected in a two stage cluster sampling frame.

  9. Population • Sample units: community organizations working on food security in the Montreal Metropolitan Region • Analysis units: participants in food security interventions individuals between 18 and 65 years of age registered for the first time, and for less than 6 months in selected MMR food security community organizations

  10. Inclusion criteria • Organizations: • 50 new participants for traditional interventions • 30 new participants for alternative interventions • Participants: • between 18 and 65 years of age • registered for the first time, and for less than 6 months

  11. Methods • 30-45 minutes questionnaires administered face to face in French or in English, according to the preference of participants. • Follow-up nine months after the first interview

  12. Particpants at T1 and T2 • 16 organizations implementing traditional interventions • 6 organizations implementing alternative interventions

  23. Conclusions • Participants in traditional and alternative interventions present significant differences before starting the interventions • Does food insecurity interventions increase inequalities among the most vulnerable who attend traditional interventions and participants in alternatives? • If we just consider T1 and T2 results, it seems that the effects of traditional interventions are effective in reducing food insecurity and improving mental health • Alternative interventions seem to have some positive effects concerning food insecurity and mental health although they never reach a statistical significant level
