“…It is possible that racial discrimination and racism play a role in creating food inequalities across racial/ethnic groups. For example, Burke et al [31] investigated the association between lifetime racial discrimination and food insecurity among Black food-insecure households with children in South Carolina. They found that even after adjusting for other demographic and socioeconomic confounders, every unit increase in the frequency of racial discrimination was associated with a 5% increase in the odds of being very low food secure [31].…”

Previous research has demonstrated that the burden of household food insecurity is disproportionately high among racial/ethnic minority groups, yet no peer-reviewed studies have systematically examined racial/ethnic disparities in household food insecurity in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. This cross-sectional study on household food insecurity during COVID-19 used data from a nationally representative sample of US households through the 2020 Household Pulse Survey (HPS) (including all 50 states and the District of Columbia, n = 74,413 households). Six generalized estimating equation (GEE) models were estimated, and the results indicated that households headed by Blacks, Asians, Hispanics, or other racial/ethnic minorities were not significantly more food insecure than White households during the pandemic. However, among food-insecure households, Black households were more likely to report that they could not afford to buy more food; Asian and Hispanic households were more likely to be afraid to go out to buy food; Asian households were more likely to face transportation issues when purchasing food; while White households were more likely to report that stores did not have the food they wanted. Moreover, racial/ethnic minorities were significantly less confident about their household food security for the next 4 weeks than Whites. The coronavirus pandemic crisis has exposed and exacerbated the food injustice in American society. Policymakers and local officials should take concerted actions to improve the capacity of food supply and ensure food equality across all racial/ethnic groups.

“…Social epidemiologists and public health scholars have long argued that racial differences in economic outcomes are manifestations of structural racism, and are powerful in shaping racial disparities in health (49)(50)(51). Scholars in the US have also established a potential relationship between racial discrimination and an elevated risk of food insecurity (22)(23)(24)(25). In their study of African-American food-insecure households with children, Burke et al (2018) found that even after adjusting for socio-demographic factors, a one-unit increase in the frequency of lifetime racial discrimination was associated with a 5% increase in the odds of very low food insecurity (22).…”

Background: Household food insecurity is a public health concern in many high-income countries. Despite two decades of research charting the socio-demographic and geographic correlates of food insecurity in Canada, the relationship between race and vulnerability to food insecurity has not been interrogated. Our objectives were to examine the association of Black-White racial identity and prevalence and severity of household food insecurity in Canada, and understand how racialized vulnerability manifests differently for key sociodemographic predictors. Methods: Data for households with Black and White respondents with complete data on household food insecurity were drawn from the Canadian Community Health Survey cycles from 2005-2014 (N=491,400). Household food insecurity status was assessed using the Household Food Security Survey Module. Bivariate and multivariate logistic and multinomial regression models were run, including respondent’s race and immigration status, as well as six well-established household-level predictors of food insecurity in the general population: household composition, income, housing tenure, highest level of education in the household, main household income source, and province/territory. To test whether the relationship between food insecurity and these predictors differed by race, additional multivariable logistic regression models were run, with race interacted with each predictor individually and predicted probabilities estimated.Results: The weighted prevalence of household food insecurity was 10.0% for white respondents and 28.4% for Black respondents. The odds of Black households being food-insecure compared to white households fell from 3.56 (95% CI: 3.30-3.85), to 1.88 (95% CI: 1.70-2.08) with adjustment for household sociodemographic characteristics. In contrast to white households, there was relative homogeneity of risk of food insecurity among Black sub-groups defined by immigration status, household composition, education, and province of residence. Homeownership was associated with lower probabilities of food insecurity for Black and white households, but the probability among Black owners was similar to that for white renters (14.7% vs. 14.3%). Black households had significantly higher predicted probabilities of food insecurity than their white counterparts across all main sources of household income except child benefits and social assistance.Conclusions: Being racialized as Black appears to be an overriding factor predicting vulnerability to food insecurity for the Black population in Canada.

“…Selain itu, dalam hal pengolahan data, metode HFIAS juga lebih sederhana dan mudah karena jawaban dari responden langsung diskoring kemudian dikategorikan, sedangkan metode Maxwell lebih rumit karena terlebih dahulu harus menghitung tingkat pengeluaran pangan dan konsumsi energi per unit ekivalen dewasa kemudian kedua indikator tersebut digabungkan untuk mengkategorikan tingkat ketahanan pangan. HFIAS merupakan alat sederhana dan valid untuk mengukur ketahanan pangan rumah tangga yang mengukur komponen akses dalam hal ketersediaan pangan di tingkat rumah tangga 3,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][20][21][22][23][24][25] . Hal ini sejalan dengan penelitian Pardede dan Pandiangan bahwa survey dengan metode HFIAS ini dinilai sangat baik digunakan untuk mendapatkan basis data ketidaktahanan pangan, mudah dilakukan untuk mendapatkan perkembangan status ketahanan pangan baik masing-masing rumah tangga, kelompok ataupun populasi di daerah kewilayahan tertentu.…”

Many indicators are used to measure food security. The most commonly used measurements are food recall, anthropometric indicators or health data, which have also been used in several studies. However, all these indicators have weaknesses such as data collection and analysis that are impractical and relatively expensive to implement. For this reason, a method that is easier, simpler, and cheaper to implement is needed. This study aims to analyze the validation of measures of food security with the HFIAS method to Maxwell's method in urban and rural households in South Sulawesi. This study used a cross sectional design. Sampling using purposive sampling with a sample size of 170 households. The data analysis performed is the gamma correlation test. The results showed that the results of the gamma correlation between the level of household food security using the HFIAS method for the Maxwell method obtained p = 0.000 with a value of r = 0.408. The conclusion of the study is that the HFIAS method can be used as a method of measuring food security because it is easier and more practical. ABSTRAKBanyak indikator yang digunakan untuk mengukur ketahanan pangan. Pengukuran yang paling sering digunakan yaitu recall pangan, indikator antropometri atau data kesehatan, yang juga telah digunakan dalam beberapa studi. Namun, semua indikator tersebut memiliki kelemahan seperti pengumpulan dan analisis data yang tidak praktis dan relatif mahal untuk diimplementasikan. Untuk itu, diperlukan metode yang lebih mudah, sederhana, dan lebih murah untuk diterapkan.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hasil korelasi gamma antara tingkat ketahanan pangan rumah tangga menggunakan metode HFIAS terhadap metode Maxwell diperoleh p=0.000 dengan nilai r=0.408. Kesimpulan dari penelitian bahwa metode HFIAS dapat digunakan sebagai metode pengukuran ketahanan pangan karena lebih mudah dan lebih praktis.
