Food insecurity patterns before and after initial receipt of Supplemental Security Income.
The objective of this study was to assess patterns of food insecurity before and after initial receipt of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. The investigators concluded that food insecurity rose prior to SSI entry but may be alleviated by programme benefits. They suggest that greater nutritional supports for SSI applicants awaiting decisions may reduce the burden of food insecurity in this population and improve health outcomes.

Association of health status with receipt of supplemental security income among individuals with severe disabilities and very low income and assets.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a cash-transfer program for individuals with severe disabilities and very low incomes and assets. The investigators analyzed data from the first 12 waves of the 2008 panel of the Survey of Income and Program Participation. They found that there was a sharp decline in health status among eventual SSI recipients in the year before program entry and a modest improvement and stabilization in health status after entry. The investigators also discuss the limitations and implications of their study.

Early cow's milk introduction is associated with failed personal-social milestones after 1 year of age.
The researchers used a novel computerized decision support system to gather data from multiple general pediatrics offices.They found an association between the introduction of cow's milk before 1 year of age and the rate of delayed developmental milestones after 1 year of age, adding strength to the recommendations from the AAP and IOM to delay cow's milk introduction until after 1 year of age.
