      abstract = {Prior research has shown that food insecurity is more  common among U.S households with an adult who has a  work-limiting disability than among other households. To  provide more detail on the prevalence of food insecurity by  a range of types of disabilities, we analyzed data from the  Current Population Survey Food Security Supplement (2009  and 2010). We focused on two groups of households that  include adults with disabilities: (1) households with a  working-age adult with a disability that prevented work  (not in labor force-disabled); and (2) those with a  working-age adult with a specified disability (hearing,  vision, mental, physical, self-care, or going-outside-home  disability) and no indication that their disability  prevented them from working (other reported disabilities).  Food insecurity was most prevalent among households with an  adult who was not in labor force-disabled (33.5 percent),  followed by those with a working-age adult with other  reported disabilities (24.8 percent). Households with no  working-age adult with a disability had a much lower  prevalence of food insecurity (12.0 percent). Close to two  in five households with very low food security included an  adult with a disability. The study findings demonstrate the  importance of disabilities as a determinant of food  insecurity.},
