Angela Bermúdez-Millán, PhD, MPH, is Assistant Professor, Department of Public Health Sciences, School of Medicine, at the University of Connecticut.
Dr. Bermúdez-Millán have experience conducting mixed methods studies and coordinating randomized controlled trials. Dr. Bermúdez-Millán research interest is to better understand and intervene on the social determinants of health, specifically food insecurity and its effects in cardiometabolic risk markers. Dr. Bermúdez-Millán is currently the PI of the “Monthly Cycling of Food Insecurity and Diabetes Risk (Food Insecurity Cycling-FIC) study. This exploratory study will examine a serious limitation in the literature, the impact of food insecurity as it unfolds over the course of the month. It will demonstrate that as household food insecurity increases, dietary quality, emotional eating, binge-eating and mental distress worsens and diabetes markers deteriorate. Findings can also have major intervention and policy implications, such as behavioral interventions, which might include support for emotional distress and implementing food resource management education and modifying the amount and timing of disbursement of monthly SNAP benefits.
