Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Chelsea Barker's research focuses on food security and access to nutritional resources within community settings. Her recent publications investigate facilitators and barriers to the utilization of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), specifically within Hispanic and Marshallese households, as identified by community health workers. Barker has also evaluated pilot programs for smart food lockers at faith-based community food pantries and examined culturally preferred food initiatives connecting local farms and food pantries. Her work includes a photoVoice study documenting the daily realities of food insecurity among residents in a rural, Southern state. Barker collaborates with researchers Bonnie Faitak, Marissa J. Spear, and Jenni A. Vaughan from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, as well as Tracey M. Barnett McElwee from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.
