美国公法480第二章食品援助计划是美国政府旨在减少发展中国家饥饿、营养不良和粮食不安全的最大计划。美国国际开发署和Title 11执行伙伴在衡量Title 11计划在减少家庭粮食不安全方面的成功方面面临挑战，因为收集和分析有关传统粮食安全指标（如人均收入和热量充足性）的数据存在技术困难和成本。家庭粮食不安全获取量表有望成为衡量家庭粮食安全获取部分的一种更容易和更方便用户的方法。为了支持对高财务指标评估系统进行一致和可比的收集，正在努力制定一份指南，其中包括标准化的调查表以及数据收集和分析说明。已经确定了一系列领域，这些领域被认为反映了不同国家和不同文化的家庭粮食不安全的获取组成部分的普遍经验。在这些领域的基础上，制定了一套问题，其措辞被认为是普遍适用的，并根据当地情况作了轻微调整。这些基于在多个国家进行的研究的基本假设正在得到指南潜在用户的验证。余下的关键问题涉及根据《粮食不安全状况评估系统》建立粮食不安全状况分类指标的进程。
The United States Public Law 480 Title II food aid program is the largest U.S. government program directed at reducing hunger, malnutrition, and food insecurity in the developing world. USAID and Title 11 implementing partners face challenges in measuring the success of Title 11 programs in reducing household food insecurity because of the technical difficulty and cost of collecting and analyzing data on traditional food security indicators, such as per capita income and caloric adequacy. The Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS) holds promise as an easier and more user-friendly approach for measuring the access component of household food security. To support the consistent and comparable collection of the HFIAS, efforts are under way to develop a guide with a standardized questionnaire and data collection and analysis instructions. A set of domains have been identified that is deemed to capture the universal experience of the access component of household food insecurity across countries and cultures. Based on these domains, a set of questions has been developed with wording that is deemed to be universally appropriate, with minor adaptation to local contexts. These underlying suppositions, based on research in multiple countries, are being verified by potential users of the guide. The key remaining issue relates to the process for creating a categorical indicator of food insecurity status from the HFIAS.
