Abstract

Background: There is a causal relationship between parental incarceration (PI) and childhood food insecurity (FI). This is a pressing policy issue given that public assistance designed to curb hunger (i.e., Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) is often revoked due to incarceration which, on top of the removal of a household income source, can significantly alter children's food access. Yet questions remain regarding the prevalence of FI among youth with incarcerated parents, as well as the interplay of parent-child coresidence, race/ethnicity, and geographic region.

Method: Data come from the 2019 Minnesota Student Survey, a statewide sample of adolescents (N = 112,554). Youth self-reported experiences of PI, parent-child coresidence at the time of incarceration, past-month FI, and race/ethnicity. Based on school districts, regions were classified as city, suburb, town, or rural.

Results: Youth with currently and formerly incarcerated parents reported significantly higher rates of FI (18.11% and 10.41%, respectively) compared to peers who never experienced PI (2.84%; ORs = 7.56 and 3.97, respectively). Among youth with currently incarcerated parents, rates of FI were highest among those who lived with the parent at the time of incarceration (21.79%) compared to those who did not (13.98%). Youth of color and city youth were more likely to experience FI in contexts of PI.

Conclusions: Findings extend the link between PI and child FI. The evidence is concerning given FI's heightened risk for chronic health conditions, which may be compounded by trauma and systemic injustice. This work has implications for policies that expand, rather than reduce, food access and financial assistance. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

父母被监禁与青少年粮食不安全。
背景:父母入狱(PI)与儿童粮食不安全(FI)之间存在因果关系。这是一个紧迫的政策问题,因为旨在遏制饥饿的公共援助(即补充营养援助计划)往往会因为监禁而被取消,而监禁除了会取消家庭收入来源外,还会极大地改变儿童获得食物的机会。然而,关于父母被监禁的青少年中食物获取的普遍性,以及亲子同住、种族/民族和地理区域的相互作用等问题仍然存在:数据来自 2019 年明尼苏达州学生调查,这是一项全州范围的青少年抽样调查(N = 112,554 人)。青少年自我报告了PI、入狱时的亲子同住、过去一个月的FI以及种族/族裔的经历。根据学区,地区被划分为城市、郊区、城镇或农村:与从未经历过 PI 的同龄人(2.84%;ORs 分别为 7.56 和 3.97)相比,父母目前或曾经入狱的青少年报告的 FI 率明显更高(分别为 18.11% 和 10.41%)。在父母目前入狱的青少年中,入狱时与父母同住的青少年的 FI 发生率最高(21.79%),而未与父母同住的青少年的 FI 发生率为 13.98%。有色人种青少年和城市青少年更有可能在父母被监禁的情况下经历 FI:结论:研究结果扩展了亲子关系和儿童家庭关系之间的联系。这些证据令人担忧,因为融合性障碍会增加慢性健康问题的风险,而创伤和系统性不公正可能会加剧这种风险。这项工作对扩大而不是减少食物获取和经济援助的政策具有重要意义。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA,保留所有权利)。
