¹Values are means ± SDs unless otherwise indicated; n in brackets (n values are not shown when missing values are <5%). Unadjusted P values: *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001; ****P < 0.0001. HFIAS, Household Food Insecurity Access Scale; MSE-CF, maternal self-efficacy for complementary feeding; SES, socioeconomic status.

²The range of possible scores for HFIAS is 0–27, with lower scores reflecting better food security.
