Poverty has profound multi-faceted negative effects on populations, including limitations on life opportunities for education, potential income, and social connection. Conversely, a supportive family setting is shown to have multiplied benefits on the economic, interpersonal, and health outcomes of one’s life course. Many poverty reduction policies in the United States seek to combat the effects of poverty by providing welfare support to families. One of these is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Much literature exists on the economic and nutritional outcomes of families who are SNAP recipients. Using the Family Impact Checklist as a policy analysis tool, our scoping review seeks to investigate the non-nutritional family outcomes correlated with SNAP use amongst families.
