FOOD INSECURITY IS A PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE IN THE United States. Over the past 25 years, national prev-alence of food insecurity—encompassing both low and very low food security—has been consistently over 10%, and very low food security alone has persisted at over 3%. 1 The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 and ensuing economic crisis and disruption of food systems2 have only served to exacerbate its prevalence. 3 In response, the research community has made laudable efforts to track the pandemic’s influence on the prevalence of food insecurity across the country. However, for the sake of expediency, many food-security measures used were inconsistent with validated, prepandemic measures. 4e6 This incompatibility will likely lead to estimation errors, which in turn will produce inaccurate conclusions resulting in potentially detrimental policy and resource-allocation decisions. This commentary aims to reinforce the necessity of consistent and careful use of validated measures when making comparisons between pre-and postpandemic data to arrive at accurate conclusions and recommendations.
