Summary

The 2010 Child Nutrition Reauthorization provided funding to test innovative strategies to end childhood hunger and food insecurity. Demonstration projects were funded in Chickasaw Nation, Kentucky, Navajo Nation, Nevada, and Virginia. This study focuses on Nevada.

SNAP households were randomly assigned to receive either: (1) $40 extra in SNAP benefits per eligible child (\<5 years) per month; (2) $40 extra in SNAP benefits per eligible child per month plus case management and nutrition education; or (3) only regular monthly SNAP benefit. The first two groups were the treatment arms and the third was the control group.
