Primary | No Food Due to Lack of Money | "In the last month, was there ever no food to eat in the house because the participant lacked money to buy more?" (single item, culturally adapted from the 3-item Household Hunger Scale of USAID's Household Food Insecurity Access Scale [HFIAS]; response options yes/no) | Baseline (The experimental manipulation in this study has to do with which version of the survey the study participant receives, so the time frame for assessment is immediate even though participants are asked about the past month) | |
Primary | No Water Due to Difficulty Collecting | "In the last month, was there ever no water in the participant's house because it was too difficult to collect more?" (single item, culturally adapted to indicate water insecurity, paralleling the 3-item Household Hunger Scale of USAID's Household Food Insecurity Access Scale [HFIAS]; response options yes/no) | Baseline (The experimental manipulation in this study has to do with which version of the survey the study participant receives, so the time frame for assessment is immediate even though participants are asked about the past month) | |
Primary | Going to Sleep Hungry | "In the last month, did the participant or one of their household members ever go to sleep hungry because there was not enough food?" (single item, culturally adapted from the 3-item Household Hunger Scale of USAID's Household Food Insecurity Access Scale [HFIAS]; response options yes/no) | Baseline (The experimental manipulation in this study has to do with which version of the survey the study participant receives, so the time frame for assessment is immediate even though participants are asked about the past month) | |
Primary | Going to Sleep Thirsty | "In the last month, did the participant or one of their household members ever go to sleep thirsty because there was not enough water?" (single item, culturally adapted to indicate water insecurity, paralleling the 3-item Household Hunger Scale of USAID's Household Food Insecurity Access Scale [HFIAS]; response options yes/no) | Baseline (The experimental manipulation in this study has to do with which version of the survey the study participant receives, so the time frame for assessment is immediate even though participants are asked about the past month) | |
Primary | No Food for Entire Day | "In the last month, did the participant or one of their household members ever go an entire day and night without eating anything because there was not enough food?" (single item, culturally adapted from the 3-item Household Hunger Scale of USAID's Household Food Insecurity Access Scale [HFIAS]; response options yes/no) | Baseline (The experimental manipulation in this study has to do with which version of the survey the study participant receives, so the time frame for assessment is immediate even though participants are asked about the past month) | |
Primary | Drink Unsafe Water | "In the last month, did the participant or one of their household members ever drink water that they thought might not be safe for their health?" (single item, culturally adapted to indicate water insecurity, developed specifically for this study; response options yes/no) | Baseline (The experimental manipulation in this study has to do with which version of the survey the study participant receives, so the time frame for assessment is immediate even though participants are asked about the past month) |
