Abstract

People with disabilities are at increased risk of food insecurity (FI). In the United States, the Current Population Survey is used to provide official FI estimates. Other federal surveys that include disability and FI measures as well as additional health, housing, nutrition, and functioning measures offer opportunities to examine determinants of FI more fully for people with disabilities. We estimate FI prevalence for people with disabilities across four surveys, finding that all sources identify disability as a risk factor for FI, with some variation in estimates. We identify policy‐specific areas each source could inform and suggest avenues for future research.
