One in five LGBT high school students experience hunger because of food insecurity
|
|
Using data from the Youth Risk Behavior Survey and the U.S. Census Household Pulse Survey, our new study finds 20% of LGBT high school students—an estimated 371,000 youth—experienced hunger last month because there was not enough food at home. Among older youth ages 18-24, 14%—an estimated 703,000 LGBT people—reported not having enough to eat in the past week.
Results show that racial inequities in hunger due to food insecurity exist for both age groups. Among LGBT high school students, Black youth were more than twice as likely as their white peers to report hunger.
