食物无保障的癌症患者比食物有保障的患者健康状况更差，生活质量更低。针对缓解癌症患者食物无保障状况的项目研究甚少。本文的目的是报告参与一项补充食品券项目的癌症患者的食品购买行为。
本文利用了一项三臂随机对照试验的数据，该试验研究了食品干预措施对接受化疗和/或放疗的癌症患者缓解食物无保障状况的影响。在其中一臂中，患者每月收到230美元的食品券用于购买食品。收集了用食品券购买物品的收据，并进行编码以分析购买行为。
33名患者提供了超过11000件单品的收据。患者将50%的食品券资金用于动物蛋白、水果和蔬菜。平均而言，患者将77%的食品券资金用于被归类为“健康”的物品。
收到食品券的患者购买的水果和蔬菜比全国平均水平所显示的要多。他们在含糖饮料上的花费也比全国样本少。出生在美国境外或英语水平有限的患者购买的健康食品明显多于说英语和在美国出生的研究患者。为食物无保障的癌症患者提供补充食品券促使他们购买了健康食品。
Food insecure cancer patients experience worse health outcomes and poorer quality of life than food secure patients. There has been little research in programs to alleviate food insecurity in cancer patients. The objective of this paper is to report on the food purchasing behaviors of cancer patients enrolled in a supplemental food voucher program. This paper utilized data from a three-arm randomized controlled trial investigating the impact of food interventions on alleviating food insecurity in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. In one arm, patients received a monthly $230 voucher with which to purchase food. Receipts were collected for items purchased with the voucher and were coded to analyze purchasing behaviors. 33 patients provided receipts for more than 11,000 individual items. Patients spent 50% of voucher funds on animal protein, fruits, and vegetables. Patients spent, on average, 77% of voucher funds on items categorized as “healthy”. Patients who received a food voucher purchased more fruits and vegetables than national averages would suggest. They also spent less on sweetened beverages than national samples. Patients who were born outside of the US or who were limited English proficient purchased significantly more healthy foods than English-speaking and American-born study patients. Supplemental food vouchers for food insecure cancer patients resulted in the purchase of healthy food items.
