这项研究的目的是衡量秘鲁利马一个低收入区有子女家庭的粮食不安全状况，并确定他们可利用的可能影响其粮食安全状况的正规和非正规粮食资源。2019年6月至7月，我们从萨尔瓦多镇（秘鲁利马）随机选择的329户家庭中收集了数据。采用混合方法后，我们发现，使用粮食援助计划（FAP）的家庭比例随着粮食不安全程度的增加而增加，但无论粮食安全与否，家庭都大量使用两种FAP。使用FAP的主要原因包括经济需要，已经签署了该计划，并相信食物具有营养价值;不使用的主要原因是发现该计划不必要，不喜欢或认为食物质量差，以及无法签署该计划。同样，非正规的粮食资源，如赊购粮食或从家庭以外的人那里接受粮食，随着粮食不安全程度的增加而逐步得到使用。我们的研究澄清了家庭粮食不安全水平和FAP使用之间的关系-FAP更常用的粮食不安全的家庭使用，因为财政需要，而FAP最常用的粮食安全的家庭是那些自动登记。在计划层面，我们的研究强调了在FAP中提供营养和首选食物的必要性，并使入学标准的应用标准化。
The goal of this study was to measure food insecurity among families with children in a low-income district of Lima, Peru and to identify the formal and informal food resources available to them that may affect their food security status. In June-July 2019, we collected data from 329 randomly selected households in Villa El Salvador (Lima, Peru). Following a mixed methods approach, we found that the percentage of households using food assistance programs (FAPs) increased with increasing levels of food insecurity, but two FAPs were heavily used by households regardless of food (in)security. The main reasons for using FAPs included financial need, already being signed up in the program, and believing that the food was of nutritional value; the main reasons for non-use were finding the program unnecessary, dislike or poor perceived quality of the food, and not being able to sign up for the program. Similarly, informal food resources, such as buying food on credit or receiving food from someone outside the household, were incrementally used with increased levels of food insecurity. Our study clarifies the relationship between level of household food insecurity and FAP use – FAPs more commonly used by food insecure households were used because of financial need, whereas the FAPs most commonly used by food secure households were those with automatic enrollment. At a programmatic level, our research highlights the need for making nutritious and preferred foods available in FAPs and standardizing the application of enrollment criteria.
