Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS kR0xrCpz. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives : We sought to identify factors associated with adult or child hunger. Methods : Low-income housed and homeless mothers were interviewed about socio-economic, psychosocial, health, and food sufficiency information. Multinomial logistic regression produced models predicting adult or child hunger. Results : Predictors of adult hunger included mothers'childhood sexual molestation and current parenting difficulties, or "hassles." Risk factors for child hunger included mothers'childhood sexual molestation, housing subsidies, brief local residence, having more or older children, and substandard housing. Conclusions : This study found that the odds of hunger, although affected by resource constraints in low-income female-headed families. were also worsened by mothers'poor physical and mental health. Eliminating hunger thus may require broader interventions than food programs. |
