| Resumo: |
This paper analyzed, via a multinomial logit model, the associations between household socioeconomic characteristics and the reasons eligible households give for not entering the Food Stamp Program. Data were taken from the 1979-80 Low Income Supplemental Sample of the USDA Nationwide Food Consumption Survey. Statistical analysis revealed that households either residing in suburban areas, with employed members, or whose head is a high school graduate cited a lack of information about the program as the reason for nonparticipation more frequently than their counterparts without one of these characteristics. An examination of alternative household profiles indicates that government efforts to disseminate information about the Food Stamp Program have been generally successful in reaching those households usually identified as most in need of assistance.
