Understanding hunger and developing indicators to assess it in women and children
Open accessAbstract
The lack of an operational definition for hunger has been frequently cited as a barrier to progress in addressing the problem. The purposes of this research were to develop an understanding of hunger from the perspective of women who had experienced it and to construct and evaluate indicators to measure hunger directly in similar populations. In-depth interviews were conducted with 32 women of childbearing age from rural and urban areas of Upstate New York. Qualitative analysis of the responses yielded a conceptualization of hunger that included two levels: the individual and household. Hunger at each of these levels had quantitative, qualitative, psychological and social components. These women also viewed hunger as a managed process. Based on this conceptualization of hunger, survey items were developed and evaluated, using data from a questionnaire administered to 189 women from the same geographical area. Three scales, one each for household, women's, and children's hunger, emerged and were found to be valid and reliable indicators for measuring hunger directly in this population. Le manque d'une définition operationeile pour la faim, a souvent été cité comme une barrière au progrès des recherches s'adressant à ce problème. Le but de cette recherche était de développer une compréhension de la faim dans l'optique des femmes qui ont connu la faim, et ensuite de developer et évaluer des indices qui mesureraient directment la faim dans des populations comparables. Des entrevues en profondeur ont été tenues avec 32 femmes en âge d'avoir des enfants, venant de milieux ruraux et urbains du nord de l'état de New York. Une analyse qualitative des réponses révéla une conceptualisation de la faim à deux niveaux: soit celui de l'individu et celui du foyer. La faim à chacun de ces niveaux avait des dimensions quantitatives, qualitatives, psychologiques et sociales. Ces femmes envisagent aussi la faim comme un processus à être manié. Basées sur cette conceptualisation de la faim, les variables de cette étude ont été dévelopées et évaluées utilisant les données obtenues d'un questionnaire administré a 189 femmes de la même région géographique. Trois échelles d'évaluation sont ressorties: une pour le foyer, une pour la faim des femmes et une pour la faim des enfants, et celles-ci ont été identifiées comme des indices valables et sérieux pour mesurer directment la faim dans cette population. Frecuentemente se ha citado que la carencia de una definición operacional respecto a la hambruna constituye una barrera para el progreso de este problema. Los propósitos del estudio fueron, primero, desarollar un mejor entendimiento de la hambruna tomando en cuenta la perspectiva de las mujeres que la han experimentado, y segundo, de construir y evaluar los indicadores que puedan medir directamente la hambruna en otros grupos similares. Se entrevistaron treinta y dos mujeres de edad reproductiva, provenientes de zonas rurales y urbanas del estrado de Nueva York. Análisis qualitativos de las repuestas revelaron que los sujetos tienen dos niveles de conceptualizar la hambruna: el del individuo y el del hogar. En cada uno de estos niveles, la hambruna tiene componentes quantitativos, qualitativos, psychológicos y sociales. Estas mujeres también percibieron la hambruna como un proceso manejable. En base a estas concep-tualizaciones de la hambruna, se desarollaron y se evaluaron detalles particulares de la encuesta, usando los datos del cuestionario que habían sido administrados a 189 mujeres provenientes de la misma área geográfica. Surgieron tres escalas de medición sobre la hambruna, una para el hogar, una para las mujeres, y una para los niños. Además, se encontró que estas tres escalas son indicadores válidos y confiables para directamente medir la hambruna en esta población.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
