Optimal Foraging00:48

Optimal Foraging

13.2K
How animals obtain and eat their food is called foraging behavior. Foraging can include searching for plants and hunting for prey and depends on the species and environment.

Self-Schemas

35.3K
In general, a schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Confirmation Biases01:31

Confirmation Biases

7.6K
The confirmation bias is the tendency to focus on information that confirms our existing beliefs and ignore information that is inconsistent with our expectations. For example, if you think that your professor is not very nice, you notice all of the instances of rude behavior exhibited by the professor while ignoring the countless pleasant interactions he is involved in on a daily basis. Have you ever fallen prey to the confirmation bias, either as the source or target of such bias?

Assessment of the Gastrointestinal System II: Health Perception Pattern01:29

Assessment of the Gastrointestinal System II: Health Perception Pattern

399
Assessing the gastrointestinal (GI) system is a complex process that begins with collecting subjective data. This data, collected through patient interviews, provides crucial insights into the patient's health history, perception patterns, and lifestyle habits, all contributing significantly to GI health.
Health Perception Patterns
Health perception patterns offer valuable insights into a patient's lifestyle habits and how they may impact their GI health. These patterns include:

Regulation of Food Intake01:30

Regulation of Food Intake

2.2K
Short-term regulation of food intake primarily involves neural signals from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, blood nutrient levels, and GI tract hormones. Communication between the gut and brain via vagal nerve fibers plays a significant role in evaluating the contents of the gut. Clinical studies have shown that protein ingestion produces a more prolonged response in these nerve fibers compared to an equivalent amount of glucose. Additionally, the activation of stretch receptors caused by GI...

Taste Buds and Receptors01:20

Taste Buds and Receptors

4.4K
Gustation, or the sense of taste, is intrinsically linked to the anatomical structures located on the tongue. This organ's surface, along with the entirety of the oral cavity, is adorned with stratified squamous epithelium. Evident on the tongue are elevated structures known as papillae (singular = papilla), which house the mechanisms for the transduction of gustatory stimuli. Four distinct types of papillae exist, each identified by their unique morphological attributes: the circumvallate,...

Summary

Calls to United Way 2-1-1 can identify food-insecure areas. This research highlights communities with high emergency food needs, even with access to federal programs, aiding public health efforts.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Services Research
  • Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

Background:

  • Food insecurity, defined as limited access to adequate food, significantly impacts individual health and increases healthcare costs.
  • Addressing food insecurity is crucial for improving health outcomes and reducing disparities.
  • Information seeking behaviors can serve as a proxy for unmet needs in communities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine if calls to United Way 2-1-1 can identify areas with food insecurity.
  • To pinpoint "information deserts"—communities with low access to food resources but high demand for emergency food assistance.
  • To identify sociodemographic predictors of food insecurity at the community level.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 63,221 calls to United Way of Salt Lake 2-1-1 for emergency food resources (2014-2018).
  • Geographic Information Systems (GIS) methods to identify "hot spots" of high call volume.
  • Multinomial logistic regression to identify community-level sociodemographic predictors of food insecurity.

Main Results:

  • Specific sociodemographic factors, including a smaller proportion of the population aged under 18, a higher number of female householders, and a larger African American population, are associated with increased odds of food insecurity.
  • Identified geographic "hot spots" indicating concentrated areas of need for emergency food resources.

Conclusions:

  • Information-seeking patterns, like 2-1-1 calls, reveal persistent food needs despite existing federal programs.
  • This novel approach aids public health officials in identifying vulnerable populations and addressing food insecurity as a social determinant of health.
  • The methodology can be used for benchmarking food needs and replicating analyses in other regions.
