An existing measure of food insecurity with hunger in the United States may serve as an effective indicator of quality of
life. State level differences in that measure can reveal important differences in quality of life across places. In this study,
we advocate and demonstrate two simple methods by which analysts can explore state-specific contributions to state-specific
hunger rates. Using existing survey data and the U.S. Department of Agriculture measure of household food insecurity with
hunger, we illustrate how comparing group-specific hunger rates within states and how the demographic method of standardization
can both be used to assess how a state’s population and local characteristics influence hunger rates and other quality of
life indicators associated with hunger. 相似文献

ABSTRACT This article comprises one facet of a larger, three-year phenomenological study (1997–2000) of gay and lesbian youth coming out in post-apartheid South Africa. A nonprobability sample of 18 young people, aged between 16 and 21 years, was interviewed. The resultant data was content analyzed, and the trustworthiness of the information was ensured via member checking and utilizing an independent coder. Results consistently revealed that gay and lesbian youth use defense mechanisms, such as denial, avoidance, compartmentalization, suppression, compensation, sublimation, undoing, displacement, rationalization, and intellectualization, in a conscious manner during their coming out process. The young people in this study demonstrated resilience despite the prejudice and inner turmoil that they had experienced. Practice guidelines are suggested in terms of how health and social care practitioners can support gay and lesbian youth in coping with their coming out process. 相似文献
