Objectives Food insecurity remains a problem in the US, especially for children in immigrant families. We developed a novel measure of parental nativity and incorporated school effects to advance knowledge from prior studies. Methods Using hierarchical logistic models and data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-2011 Kindergarten Cohort, we examined how parental nativity and race/ethnicity, and school characteristics influence household food insecurity among a nationally representative sample of US first-graders in 2012. Results After adjusting for potential confounders, children without any US-born parents had a higher likelihood of household food insecurity than children with two US-born parents or one foreign-born/one US-born parent. Attending a Title 1 school was associated with food insecurity independent of household socioeconomic status. Conclusions for Practice Results suggest that providers should take special care to screen for food insecurity among children with only immigrant parents and that Title 1 schools have a potentially important role to play in reducing food insecurity.
目标 在美国，粮食不安全仍然是一个问题，尤其是对于移民家庭中的儿童。我们开发了一种新的父母出生地衡量方法，并纳入学校因素以推进先前研究的知识。方法 使用分层逻辑模型和来自《2011年幼儿园队列幼儿纵向研究》的数据，我们研究了父母出生地和种族/族裔以及学校特征如何影响2012年美国一年级学生全国代表性样本中的家庭粮食不安全状况。结果 在调整潜在混杂因素后，没有任何美国出生父母的儿童比有两个美国出生父母或一个外国出生/一个美国出生父母的儿童家庭粮食不安全的可能性更高。就读第一类学校与粮食不安全相关，与家庭社会经济地位无关。实践结论 结果表明，提供者应特别注意筛查只有移民父母的儿童中的粮食不安全情况，并且第一类学校在减少粮食不安全方面可能发挥重要作用。
