这项研究探讨了工作残疾和粮食不安全之间的关系，并测试残疾和粮食不安全之间的正相关关系是否是由两种机制：经济资源和/或竞争性消费需求。样本（N = 6 997）是从1999年收入动态小组研究（PSID）中选择的，其中包括1 200多个以残疾人为户主的家庭。研究结果支持这两种机制，但取决于粮食不安全的程度和家庭经济资源的类型，他们在解释残疾与粮食不安全的关系方面的成功各不相同。此外，我们发现，在保护残疾人免受粮食不安全方面，家庭资产比收入更有效。残疾人政策和粮食援助计划的影响进行了讨论。(C)2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
This research examines the relationship between work disability and food insecurity, and tests whether the positive association between disability and food insecurity is accounted for by two mechanisms: economic resources and/or competing consumption needs. A sample (N = 6997) is chosen from the 1999 Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) with over 1200 households headed by people with disabilities. Findings support both mechanisms but depending on the levels of food insecurity and the types of family economic resources, their success at explaining the relationship of disability with food insecurity varies. In addition, we find that household assets are more effective than income in protecting people with disabilities against food insecurity. Implications for disability policy and food assistance programs are discussed. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
