Abstract: Diaper and food insecurity are distinct but overlapping challenges faced by many households. Synthesis across seven studies indicated consistent co-occurrence of diaper need and food insecurity, with shared sociodemographic risk factors and implications for maternal stress and child health. Addressing diaper needs and food insecurity through structural support and comprehensive solutions can improve family well-being. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
