DESCRIPTION:Shellye Suttles\, assistant professor\, O'Neill School of Publi
 c &amp\; \nEnvironmental Affairs\, Indiana University\, will present "Unde
 rstanding Variation in State Policy and Politics of Food Environments"&nbs
 p\;as part of the CPR Seminar Series.Abstract:&nbsp\;Measures of food envi
 ronment quality seek to capture availability\, accessibility\, affordabili
 ty\, accommodation\, and acceptability of food available to residents. At 
 present time\, measures of food security and food access play an important
  role in quantifying the affordability\, accessibility\, and availability 
 aspects of food environment quality. Existing research has thoroughly expl
 ored the relationship between state-level food policy and food security\, 
 food access\, and food environments. We add to this field of study by exam
 ining the relationship between state-level partisan politics that lead to 
 such policies and the resulting variation in food environment quality acro
 ss states. We use instrumental variable regression analysis to explore com
 mon measures of food security and food access as well as a new measure of 
 food environment quality in the context of endogenous SNAP participation. 
 Ultimately\, we find that political partisanship of governors\, state-fund
 ed food financing\, and certain SNAP policies are associated with variatio
 n in food environment quality across states.
