What this trial measures

  • Level of Food insecurity in the past 12 monthsBaseline, 6 months, 12 months

    Food insecurity will be measured using the 18-item Household Food Security Survey Module (HFSSM) with a 12-month recall period, which classifies the households as high, low, or very low food security. It also classifies children's experiences with food insecurity. And again, in monthly surveys with a recall period of 30 days.
