进行这项研究是为了从经历过粮食不安全的家庭的角度了解粮食不安全。对加拿大魁北克市及周边地区城乡98户低收入家庭的集体访谈和个人访谈的结果引出了“足够的食物”对这些家庭的意义和食物不安全的各种表现形式。粮食不安全的经历有两类表现：(1)其核心特征：缺少食物，包括粮食短缺、食物和饮食不适宜，以及一心想要获得足够的食物；以及家庭对其粮食状况缺乏控制；(2)一系列相关的潜在反应：社会家庭不安、饥饿和身体损害以及心理痛苦。调查结果证实了魁北克人中存在粮食不安全的情况，并证实这一经历的性质与纽约州北部确定的许多核心因素是一致的。这项研究强调了饮食的单调，描述了疏离感，区分了缺乏食物和由此产生的反应，并强调了体验的动态性质。(C)2001爱思唯尔科学有限公司。保留所有权利。
This study was undertaken to understand food insecurity from the perspective of households who experienced it. The results of group interviews and personal interviews with 98 low-income households from urban and rural areas in and around Quebec City, Canada, elicited the meaning of ''enough food'' for the households and the range of manifestations of food insecurity. Two classes of manifestations characterized the experience of food insecurity: (1) its core characteristics: a lack of rood encompassing the shortage of food, the unsuitability of both food and diet and a preoccupation with continuity in access to enough food; and a lack of control of households over their food situation; and (2) a related set of potential reactions: socio-familial perturbations, hunger and physical impairment, and psychological suffering. The results substantiate the existence of food insecurity among Quebecers and confirm that the nature of this experience is consistent with many of the core components identified in upstate New York. This study underlines the monotony of the diet, describes the feeling of alienation, differentiates between a lack of food and the reactions that it engenders, and emphasizes the dynamic nature of the experience.
