本文探讨了社会资本--一种衡量信任、互惠和社会网络的指标--是否与家庭层面的社会经济因素无关地与家庭粮食安全正相关。对来自康涅狄格州哈特福德的330个低收入家庭进行了采访。社会资本使用7个项目的利克特量表进行衡量，并使用家庭和社区层面的分数进行分析。家庭食品安全和饥饿是使用美国家庭食品安全模块进行衡量的。CHI(2)检验被用来检验社会资本、食品安全和家庭人口特征之间的关系。Logistic回归被用来检验家庭和社区层面的社会资本是否降低了家庭饥饿的几率，并估计了哪些家庭特征增加了拥有社会资本的可能性。与我们的假设一致，在这些数据中，家庭和社区层面的社会资本与家庭粮食安全显著相关。社区层面的社会资本与经历饥饿的几率降低显著相关(调整后的优势比(AOR)=0.47[95%CI 0.28，0.81]，P
This article explores whether social capital-a measure of trust, reciprocity and social networks-is positively associated with household food security, independent of household-level socioeconomic factors. Interviews were conducted in 330 low-income households from Hartford, Connecticut. Social capital was measured using a 7-item Likert scale and was analyzed using household- and community-level scores. Household food security and hunger were measured using the US Household Food Security Module. chi(2) tests were used to examine associations between social capital, food security and household demographic characteristics. Logistic regression was used to examine whether household- and community-level social capital decreases the odds of household hunger, and to estimate which household characteristics increase the likelihood of having social capital. Consistent with our hypotheses, social capital, at both the household and community levels, is significantly associated with household food security in these data. Community-level social capital is significantly associated with decreased odds of experiencing hunger (adjusted odds ratio (AOR)=0.47 [95% Cl 0.28, 0.81], P
