About The Study: In this cross-sectional study, adoption of state-level policies associated with higher Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participation was also associated with lower county-level food insecurity rates. Policies that lower barriers to SNAP participation may help address rising food insecurity rates observed in 2022 and 2023.
