* Indicates a characteristic that was used to create a stratified random sample. 1 Coates, J., Swindale, A., & Bilinsky, P. [22]. 2 These results represent households experiencing any of the conditions at any level of severity in each of the Household Food Insecurity Access-related domains (e.g., these results reflect responses to occurrence questions only and do not reflect the proscribed HFIAS frequency component) [22]. For this reason, these results may differ from other reports in this region.
