Notes: Food support group also received the nutrition education. Regressions in Table 3 use linear probability models with the binary food insecurity outcome. Beta coefficients represent the change of probability of the outcome with one unit increase in the independent variable. In addition to the covariates shown here, we adjusted for clinic and a set of indicators for month of interview.
