这项分析使用了收入和计划参与调查（SIPP）的数据，以研究退伍军人和残疾状况是否与老年人的家庭贫困和物质困难有关。与不包括残疾人或退伍军人的家庭相比，残疾的非退伍军人家庭更有可能陷入贫困，并经历家庭困难，医疗困难和支付账单困难。残疾退伍军人家庭在贫困方面没有显着差异，但表现出家庭困难，医疗困难，支付账单困难和食物不足的可能性最高。社会工作实践的影响进行了讨论。
This analysis uses data from the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) to examine whether veteran and disability statuses are jointly associated with household-level poverty and material hardship among older adults. Compared to households that do not include a person with a disability or veteran, disabled non-veteran households are more likely to be in poverty and to experience home hardship, medical hardship, and bill-paying hardship. Disabled veteran households are not significantly different in terms of poverty, but exhibit the highest odds of home hardship, medical hardship, bill-paying hardship, and food insufficiency. The implications for social work practice are discussed.
