Food insecurity is a deeply cross-cutting challenge to take on, so we’re bringing you a two-part episode examining the science of nutrition insecurity and policies looking to address it. In part 1, we talk with Dr. Alison Brown, a program director at NHLBI, about health risks of food insecurity like chronic disease, and how researchers are helping us understand the correlation between access to healthy foods and long-term health.
Alison Brown, MS, PhD, RDN is a public health nutrition researcher committed to addressing diet-related health disparities through research, community empowerment, and systems change. Dr. Brown’s past research explored immigrant health and diet and cardiovascular disease outcomes. Currently, she serves as a Program Director at the National Heart Lung Blood Institute where her work centers on the social determinants of health and nutrition health disparities.
