Some of these households face hunger, a severe form of food insecurity marked by reduced food intake and disrupted eating patterns. Adults with disabilities often encounter more significant health challenges due to chronic conditions and barriers to healthcare access. This study investigates the differences in food insecurity and hunger between individuals with and without disabilities, while also examining various demographic factors. It specifically analyzes the experiences of food insecurity among different subgroups of people with disabilities. To explore the relationship between disability characteristics within households and food insecurity, data from the 2005-2006 Oregon Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) was analyzed. 000000517 540__ $$fCC BY 000000517 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000517 650__ $$aHunger$$020388 000000517 650__ $$aBehavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System$$035031 000000517 650__ $$aDisabled Persons$$019843 000000517 650__ $$aPsychology$$024837 000000517 650__ $$aAdult$$014319 000000517 650__ $$aHealth Services Accessibility$$019904 000000517 650__ $$aChronic Disease$$016715 000000517 650__ $$aFood Insecurity$$013447 000000517 651__ $$aOregon$$041094 000000517 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000517 692__ $$aDepartment of Public Health and Preventive Medicine$$041444 000000517 7001_ $$aTaitano, Genia$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000517 7201_ $$aHorner-Johnson, Willi$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000000517 7201_ $$aLapidus, Jodi$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eCommittee member 000000517 7201_ $$aAdams, Elizabeth$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eCommittee member 000000517 7201_ $$aDrum, Charles$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eCommittee member 000000517 8564_ $$9f27fb71a-92a9-49d0-8b33-45771d1a0b96$$s417014$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/517/files/518_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$2da63a6f5461f87d89fc0dafc370d3e69$$31 000000517 905__ $$a/rest/prod/wm/11/7n/96/wm117n96b 000000517 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:517$$pstudent-work 000000517 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
