ABSTRACT

Households with a sexual minority adult may face material difficulties that can lead to an increased risk of food insecurity compared to those without a sexual minority adult. Using data from the 2013–2018 National Health Interview Survey, this study examines the relationship between household food insecurity and the sexual orientation of adult members. The results suggest that households with a male or a female sexual minority adult are more likely to be food insecure than households without a sexual minority adult. Moreover, an increased likelihood of food insecurity due to the presence of a female sexual minority adult is relatively greater than that of a male sexual minority adult.

摘要

与没有性少数成年人的家庭相比，有性少数成年人的家庭可能面临物质困难，从而导致粮食不安全风险增加。本研究使用 2013-2018 年全国健康访谈调查的数据，检验家庭粮食不安全与成年成员性取向之间的关系。结果表明，与没有性少数成年人的家庭相比，有男性或女性性少数成年人的家庭更有可能粮食不安全。此外，由于女性性少数成年人的存在而导致粮食不安全的可能性相对高于男性性少数成年人。
