In partnership with many local partners and Cooperative Extension agents, who distributed the survey across the state, NC State University researchers carried out a COVID-19 Food Security and Health Behaviors Survey this spring.  We are excited to share the important preliminary results of this survey, which can help to inform next steps in planning a public health system response to this crisis, particularly related to access to food and physical activity.
