Using data generated from surveys conducted on First Nations throughout Canada, we use regression analysis to examine factors influencing food insecurity. To our knowledge, this is the first time a regression‐based analysis has been conducted to examine food insecurity on First Nations in Canada. As expected, income is inversely related to the likelihood that one reports their household as experiencing food insecurity. In addition, individuals in extremely remote areas are more likely to report their household as experiencing food insecurity. Although traditional food consumption is prevalent, we do not find evidence that it is associated with reductions in the prevalence of self‐reported household food insecurity. We find that gender and mental health are associated with perceived household food insecurity. Although this study is novel, for reasons and limitations detailed in the paper, it should be viewed as an initial effort to establish potential relationships that underscore one of the most important issues facing Canada: the high prevalence of food insecurity in First Nations communities.

对加拿大原住民粮食安全的实证评估

我们使用在整个加拿大对原住民进行的调查所产生的数据，使用回归分析来研究影响粮食不安全的因素。据我们所知，这是首次进行基于回归的分析来检查加拿大原住民的粮食不安全状况。正如预期的那样，收入与报告家庭遭受粮食不安全状况的可能性成反比。此外，在极端偏远地区的个人更有可能报告其家庭遭受粮食不安全状况的影响。尽管传统食品消费很普遍，但我们没有找到证据表明它与减少自我报告的家庭粮食不安全的发生率有关。我们发现性别和心理健康与家庭粮食不安全感有关。尽管这项研究是新颖的，
