National
Data Useful in Food Assistance and Nutrition Research—Brief
descriptions of National surveys and data sets with links
to their sources. The following three surveys are particularly
useful for analyzing program outcomes:
- Current Population
Survey (CPS) Food Security Supplement data—Annual
data on food expenditures, food security, and use of
food assistance programs and other strategies for coping
with or ameliorating food deprivation.
- Survey of Program
Dynamics (SPD), Food Security Status file, data, and
technical documentation—The SPD was designed
specifically to monitor and assess outcomes of welfare
program changes begun in 1996. It includes questions
on a broad array of topics including income, employment,
use of food assistance and nutrition programs, and receipt
of cash welfare. ERS prepared a food security status
file to facilitate analysis of food security in households
interviewed in the SPD.
- The Panel
Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) data—The PSID
is an ongoing longitudinal survey, begun in 1968, of
a representative sample of U.S. individuals and their
families. It contains data on participation in the Food
Stamp Program, WIC, and Reduced Cost Meals, as well
as information on food security and healthy eating habits.
