Articles and reports: 82-003-X202400800002

Description: Income-related food insecurity is an important determinant of health. Persons with disabilities are at a higher risk of experiencing household food insecurity (HFI) than those without disabilities. The main objectives of this study were to estimate the prevalence of HFI for persons with different types, numbers, and severity of disabilities, and to examine sociodemographic correlates of HFI among this group.

The following corrections have been made: removed reference to cognitive disabilities in the text, updated mental-health related and pain-related data and removed 2 rows of data from Table 1 and 3 (data for the grouped physical and cognitive disabilities), and added a definition of the immigrant population.
