      abstract = {This study examines the economic coping strategies of  low-income families, using data collected through  qualitative interviews conducted in 2006-08 with 35  low-income women residing in the Detroit metropolitan area.  Three rounds of interviews found that the majority of the  sample were employed at least some of the time, and most  had children living with them. Despite careful shopping  practices, rising food prices forced cutbacks in purchase  of certain foods, including milk, cereal, fruits, and meat.  Just under half reported running out of food at some point  during the year. As for government assistance, the then  named Food Stamp Program, and now called the Supplemental  Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), was their mainstay.  Even when eligible for benefits, many of the families did  not receive cash assistance, unemployment benefits, or  workers’ compensation due to perceived access barriers.},
