The emergency food system (EFS) is a critical part of the United States' social safety net. Using 2015-2020 Current Population Survey Food Security Supplement data, we identified trends in EFS use among food insecure, low-income households by estimating the probability of EFS use adjusting for demographics using multivariable logistic regression. From 2015-2019, between 31.0% and 34.4% of households received emergency food, while 42.4% did in 2020. EFS use did not increase in 2020 compared to prior years for older adults and non-metropolitan households. Targeted outreach should be used to expand the reach of this resource to underserved and marginalized populations."
应急食品系统(EFS)是美国社会安全网的关键组成部分。利用2015 - 2020年当前人口调查食品安全补充数据,我们通过多变量逻辑回归对人口统计学因素进行调整,估计应急食品系统使用概率,从而确定了粮食不安全低收入家庭中应急食品系统的使用趋势。2015年至2019年期间,31.0%至34.4%的家庭获得了应急食品,而2020年这一比例为42.4%。与前几年相比,2020年老年人和非大都市家庭的应急食品系统使用量并未增加。应开展有针对性的宣传,以扩大这一资源对服务不足和边缘化人群的覆盖范围。
