This book was released on 1978 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extract: The Food Stamp Program was made part of permanent legislation in 1964. Studies of the economic impact of the program have been conducted by scientists in government, universities, and private research agencies. Since the program is relatively new, the existence of many of these studies is not generally known. This bibliography contains brief descriptions of the major empirical studies completed prior to 1974. Studies included relate to performance aspects of the various food stamp programs which have been tried. It is hoped that the bibliography will be helpful to scientists interested in conducting food stamp studies, and to policymakers. (Author)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), historically known as the Food Stamp Program (FSP), has been an important policy to reduce hunger; however, it has also been paradoxically linked to overweight and obesity. This dissertation study examined profiles of California Food Stamp Program recipients (FSPR) in comparison to eligible non-recipients (ENR), for sociodemographics and food consumption behaviors in relation to average body mass index. FSPR were hypothesized to have a higher average BMI when compared to ENR. Two samples of data were used from the California Health Interview Survey ([CHIS]; years 2001 and 2009). The analytical sample was restricted to participants whose incomes were at or below 130% of the FPL, in order to exclude adults who were not eligible for receiving FSP benefits. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were conducted, including factorial ANOVA and regression techniques. All analyses were weighted to account for the complex sampling design of the CHIS. Results demonstrated that FSPR and ENR are similar on most sociodemographics measured. Main effects for White and Latino ethnicities were observed in both 2001 and 2009 waves, with Whites having lower mean BMIs, and Latino participants having higher mean BMIs, than the reference groups (non-White, and non-Latino). An interaction effect was observed for education and FSP participation in the 2009 wave, with ENR who had more than a high school education having the lowest mean BMI. FSP participation significantly predicted higher mean BMI in both 2001 and 2009, controlling for age, gender, ethnicity, citizenship, food insecurity, neighborhood safety, fruit/vegetable consumption, and physical activity. Overall, results from the present dissertation study revealed that FSPR do have higher mean BMIs than ENR, but this effect of FSP participation was small. Why this phenomenon is occurring among FSPR is unclear, and is likely due to variables not found in the present datasets. Results should be viewed cautiously and do not negate the importance of the FSP in reducing hunger.

This book was released on 1982 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: More than 12,000 low-income individuals participating in the Food Stamp Program (FSP) from the 48 conterminous states (between Nov 77-Mar 78) participated in a 1 day food and nutrient intake survey. The survey was a supplement to the Nationwide Food Consumption Survey (Apr '77-Mar '78). Included are: the percentage of individuals eating from each food group; average food energy intakes; and 14 nutrients, nutrient densities, and nutritive contributions of foods eaten away from home as compared to the 1980 Recommended Dietary Allowances. Results are summarized based on data presented in 118 tables which profile FSP participants and the differences between program participants and non-participants regarding their general consumption patterns.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Food Stamp Program and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) address poor nutrition among low-income adults, infants, and children. Higher rates of obesity among the populations these programs serve have led to concern that the programs may, ironically, contribute to the problem. To analyze the relationships between program participation and body weight, the authors compared participants with non-participants. The most recent data showed that, in contrast to prior years, women food stamp participants had a Body Mass Index similar to that of income-eligible non-participating women and women with moderate incomes and were no more likely to be overweight or obese.
