先前的研究表明，家庭粮食不安全的负担在种族/族裔少数群体中高得不成比例，然而，还没有同行评议的研究在新冠肺炎大流行的背景下系统地审查家庭粮食不安全的种族/族裔差异。这项关于新冠肺炎期间家庭粮食不安全的横断面研究使用了通过2020年家庭脉搏调查(包括所有50个州和哥伦比亚特区，n = 74,413户)具有全国代表性的美国家庭样本的数据。对6个广义估计方程(GEE)模型进行了估计，结果表明，在大流行期间，以黑人、亚洲人、西班牙裔或其他种族/少数民族为户主的家庭的粮食不安全程度并不显著高于白人家庭。然而，在粮食不安全的家庭中，黑人家庭更有可能报告他们买不起更多的食物；亚洲和西班牙裔家庭更有可能害怕外出购买食物；亚洲家庭在购买食物时更有可能面临交通问题；而白人家庭更有可能报告商店没有他们想要的食物。此外，种族/少数民族对未来4周内家庭食品安全的信心明显低于白人。冠状病毒大流行危机暴露并加剧了美国社会的食物不公平。政策制定者和地方官员应采取协调一致的行动，提高粮食供应能力，确保所有种族/民族的粮食平等。
Previous research has demonstrated that the burden of household food insecurity is disproportionately high among racial/ethnic minority groups, yet no peer-reviewed studies have systematically examined racial/ethnic disparities in household food insecurity in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. This cross-sectional study on household food insecurity during COVID-19 used data from a nationally representative sample of US households through the 2020 Household Pulse Survey (HPS) (including all 50 states and the District of Columbia, n = 74,413 households). Six generalized estimating equation (GEE) models were estimated, and the results indicated that households headed by Blacks, Asians, Hispanics, or other racial/ethnic minorities were not significantly more food insecure than White households during the pandemic. However, among food-insecure households, Black households were more likely to report that they could not afford to buy more food; Asian and Hispanic households were more likely to be afraid to go out to buy food; Asian households were more likely to face transportation issues when purchasing food; while White households were more likely to report that stores did not have the food they wanted. Moreover, racial/ethnic minorities were significantly less confident about their household food security for the next 4 weeks than Whites. The coronavirus pandemic crisis has exposed and exacerbated the food injustice in American society. Policymakers and local officials should take concerted actions to improve the capacity of food supply and ensure food equality across all racial/ethnic groups.
