Popis:	This article examines the association between availability of the federal School Breakfast Program and breakfast-skipping among elementary school students in Wisconsin. Data come from the Wisconsin Schools Food Security Survey. Results suggest that the parents of children whose school offers the program are much less likely to report that their child skips breakfast on school days than are the parents of similar children in nonparticipating schools. The findings suggest that these benefits are concentrated among economically vulnerable children. Access to the School Breakfast Program is estimated to counter substantially the disproportionate risk of breakfast-skipping among low-income children relative to that among their higher-income peers.
