The myth that a single
b'Pe of person uses food
stamps was examined ina
recent Southern Rural
Development Center study
that impacts how to best
reach those in need of food
assistance.
The report, "One-size
doesn't fit all: Different
reasons drive food stamp
use in areas across the
South," looks at certain
characteristics of food
stamp users in the
Borderland in Texas, the
Appalachia region in West
Virginia, the Delta in
Mississippi and Louisiana,
and the Black Belt in
Alabama.
The SRDC is housed at
Mississippi State
University. This research
was performed by Tim
Slack and Candice Myers
of Louisiana State
Universib . They looked at
the extent to which region-
al and local conditions
uniquely" affect SNAP use.
"INe study" found that
there is not a single set of
demographics that defines
a person as a ,pical user
of what has formerly been
known as food stamps and
is now called Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance
Program, or SNAP.
The Appalachia region
reports the highest per-
centage of SNAP use, at
nearly 22 percent. In this
region, the Inajori~, of
recipients are white female
heads of households.
In the Borderland, higher
numbers of single-mother
households and nonwork-
ing-age populations are
enrolled in SNAP.
In the Delta, greater
numbers of children and
, elderly take partdn SNAP. .....
Also in the Delta, fewer
adults without a high
school diploma are a part
of SNAP compared to other
areas of the country.
In the Black Belt, SNAP
use is linked most often to
nonworking-age individu-
als and those living in
racially segregated areas
than in other parts of the
country.
These varied and some-
times counterintuitive'
results make one thing
abundantly clear: place
matters," the study says.
"The South, and those
areas in particular with
high poverty, faces unique
challenges in terms of eco-
nomic hardship generally',
and the need for food
assistance specifically.
"This research shows that
When it comes to SNAP
use, different factors are
more salient depending on
the region in question.
One-size-fits-all assump-
tions about the larger eco-
nomic and cultural charac-
teristics at play across the
social landscape will there-
fore likely miss the mark,"
the report found.
Bo Beaulieu, SRDC direc-
tor, said the research find-
ings can help social work-
ers better serve the needs
of a diverse population.
