目标.在18项家庭粮食安全量表的基础上，制定了一个简短的表格，以评估有子女和无子女家庭调查中基于经济原因的粮食不安全和饥饿情况。为了最大限度地提高家庭将被正确分类的可能性，粮食不安全和饥饿，6个项目的基础上，1995年4月目前的人口调查数据从全规模选择。简表对97.7%的家庭进行了正确分类，并将总体粮食不安全和饥饿的普遍程度低估了0.3个百分点。家庭粮食安全量表的简称是一个简短但可能有用的工具，可用于国家调查和一些州/地方应用。
Objectives. On the basis of an 18-item Household Food Security Scale, a short form was developed to assess financially based food insecurity and hunger in surveys of households with and without children.Methods. To maximize the probability that households would be correctly classified with respect to food insecurity and hunger, 6 items from the full scale were selected on the basis of April 1995 Current Population Survey data.Results. The short form classified 97.7% of households correctly and underestimated the prevalence of overall food insecurity and of hunger by 0.3 percentage points.Conclusions. The short form of the Household Food Security Scale is a brief but potentially useful tool for national surveys and some state/local applications.
