Food Stamp Program Participation and Health: Estimates from the NLSY97 In: Social Awakening: Adolescent Behavior as Adulthood Approaches. R.T. Michael, ed. New York, NY: Russell Sage Foundation, 2001: pp. 258-295 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Russell Sage Foundation Keyword(s): Food Stamps (see Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program); Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Obesity; Parental Influences; Program Participation/Evaluation; Self-Reporting; Weight Chapter: Examined the relation between Food Stamp Program participation and the health of youths (aged 12-18 yrs) using data from the 1st round of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1997 Cohort. The measures of health used were indicators of whether a youth was underweight or obese, a youth's self-reported health status, and chronic-illness status as reported by the youth's parents. Findings indicate that the relation between Food Stamp Program participation and youth health is not strong. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2000 APA, all rights reserved) |
