Colleen Heflin

Dr. Colleen Heflin is an Assistant Professor in the Truman School of Public Affairs at the University of Missouri-Columbia. She has published extensively on the determinants and consequences of material hardship. Heflin (2006) has examined dynamics of material hardship over time in a longitudinal welfare sample, including the co-occurrence of different forms of hardship. She has also examined the individual determinants of one form of material hardship—food insufficiency (Heflin, et al. 2007), as well as the physical and mental health consequences associated with food insufficiency (Heflin, et al. 2005; Siefiert et al. 2004; Siefert et al. 2001).
