This study measured food security and hunger of households involved in Head Start in a rural Appalachian county and assessed factors that could affect food security and hunger. A convenience sample of households with children enrolled in the Head Start program in Athens County, Ohio, were sampled (n=710), with adults from 297 (42%) households responding. The survey instrument included the 18-question US Household Food Security Survey Module for measuring hunger and food insecurity. Of those responding, 152 households (51.2%) were food secure and 145 (48.8%) were food insecure. Ninety (30.3%) had experienced hunger in the previous 12 months, and 41 (13.8%) households were classified as food insecure with childhood hunger. Hunger was related to a variety of household characteristics and associated with several factors, including participation in food banks, dependence on family members and friends outside of the household for food, lacking reliable transportation, and not having a garden.
本研究测量了阿巴拉契亚农村县参与“启智计划”家庭的粮食安全和饥饿状况，并评估了可能影响粮食安全和饥饿的因素。对俄亥俄州雅典县参与“启智计划”的有孩子的家庭进行了便利抽样（n = 710），297户（42%）家庭的成年人做出了回应。调查工具包括用于测量饥饿和粮食不安全状况的18个问题的美国家庭粮食安全调查模块。在做出回应的家庭中，152户（51.2%）粮食安全，145户（48.8%）粮食不安全。90户（30.3%）在过去12个月中经历过饥饿，41户（13.8%）家庭被归类为有儿童饥饿的粮食不安全家庭。饥饿与多种家庭特征相关，并与几个因素有关，包括参与食品银行、依赖家庭以外的家庭成员和朋友提供食物、缺乏可靠的交通工具以及没有花园。
