  People with pre-diabetes and those experiencing food insecurity (FI) hav
 e elevated anxiety and depression. FI is not static\; and it is determine
 d by factors such as SNAP benefits and household income. Using a micro-lo
 ngitudinal design\, we analyzed self-reported FI and anxiety/depression a
 cross six time points over three months.Approach: FI was assessed with th
 e US Household Food Security Survey Module\, anxiety with the Patient-Rep
 orted Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) anxiety scale\, an
 d depression with the Personal Health Questionnaire Depression Scale (PHQ
 ). Inclusion: 18-44 years old\, Latina\, receiving SNAP benefits\, positi
 ve 2-item screen for FI\, and elevated diabetes risk. A multilevel regres
 sion tested whether FI was associated with depression and anxiety between
  persons and within persons across time. Analyses employed Mplus v8.11wit
 h alpha > 0.05. Results There were 87 participants\, mean age 35.1 (SD=5.
 8) years. Nearly half only spoke Spanish (47%)\, most had no formal schoo
 ling (69%)\, with monthly household income <$1000 (63%). FI and depressio
 n were associated at both the between-person (B= 1.11\, beta=0.46\, p<.00
 1) and within-person levels (B=0.37\, beta=0.17\, p=.002). FI and anxiety
  were associated at both the between-person (B= 1.31\, beta=0.47\, p<.001
 ) and within-person levels (B=0.63\, beta=0.21\, p<.001). Between-person 
 effects were twice as large as within-person effects. Discussion Persons 
 with higher average levels of FI have higher symptoms of anxiety and depr
 ession. Within the same persons\, timepoints with higher-than-average FI 
 have higher levels of depression and anxiety at those time points. Food i
 nsecurity and mental health need to be addressed simultaneously.\n\nSpeak
