Factor loadings and standard errors were from the confirmatory factor analysis. There were four factors representing the four domains of food insecurity: quantitative, qualitative, psychological, and social. Indicators represent the 16 items included in the 4D-FIS. A factor loading with a magnitude > 0.7 is considered high [40]. The variance is shown in column labeled R².
