Food insecurity is a well-known risk factor for poor health and quality-of-life outcomes. Recent explorations of census data have concluded that it is experienced disproportionately by individuals with disabilities, making it an important area of focus for rehabilitation counseling and research. The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between food insecurity and work barriers and intrapersonal characteristics that are often the focus of rehabilitation counseling. Findings from a national sample of adults with disabilities (N = 435) reveal that individuals with less than a bachelor’s degree or in a household earning less than $40,000 per year were more likely to report high food insecurity. In addition, food insecurity correlated with unfavorable outcomes in measures of self-reported health, depression, social support, acceptance of chronic illness and disability (CID), and vocational self-efficacy. Implications are presented for increasing attention to the issue of food insecurity within the context of rehabilitation counseling practice and research, including strategies for augmenting services to include food assistance in a way that is sensitive to the experience of individuals with significant resource gaps.

你吃够了吗？解决康复客户的粮食不安全问题

粮食不安全是导致健康状况不佳和生活质量不佳的众所周知的风险因素。最近对人口普查数据的探索得出的结论是，残疾人对其的体验不成比例，使其成为康复咨询和研究的一个重要重点领域。本研究的目的是探讨粮食不安全与工作障碍以及通常是康复咨询重点的内省特征之间的关系。来自全国残疾成人样本（N = 435）的调查结果显示，学士学位以下或家庭年收入低于 40,000 美元的个人更有可能报告高度粮食不安全。此外，粮食不安全与自我报告的健康、抑郁、社会支持、接受慢性病和残疾（CID），以及职业自我效能感。在康复咨询实践和研究的背景下，增加对粮食不安全问题的关注，包括增加服务的战略，以对资源严重短缺的个人的经历敏感的方式包括粮食援助。
