本文探讨了家庭食品安全的州际差异。使用分层模型，我们确定了几种国家的特点，似乎与家庭粮食安全：联邦营养援助计划的可用性和可及性，影响低收入家庭的经济福利的政策，以及国家的经济和社会特征。这些方面包括我们所说的国家粮食安全基础设施。我们发现，强有力的粮食安全基础设施对经济脆弱但收入高于贫困线的家庭特别有利。几乎所有观察到的州际粮食安全差异都可以用人口和背景特征的跨州差异来解释。(c)2006年，公共政策分析与管理协会。
This article examines interstate variation in household food security. Using hierarchical modeling, we identify several kinds of state characteristics that appear linked to household food security: the availability and accessibility of federal nutrition assistance programs, policies affecting economic well-being of low income families, and states' economic and social characteristics. These dimensions comprise what we refer to as the state food security infrastructure. We find that a strong food security infrastructure is particularly beneficial to families who are economically vulnerable yet have incomes above the poverty line. Almost all of the observed interstate differences in food security can be explained by cross-state differences in demographic and contextual characteristics.
