Forced migration puts families at risk of household food insecurity and economic hardship. We administered a questionnaire to examine household food insecurity in a sample of 49 recently legally resettled Sudanese refugees with at least one child under age 3 years. Of households polled, 37% had experienced household food insecurity and 12% reported child hunger within the previous month. Increasing severity of household food insecurity was associated with decreased consumption of high-cost, high-nutrient-density food items and increased consumption of some low-cost traditional Sudanese foods by adult caregivers of young children. Furthermore, household food insecurity was associated with decreased household and per capita food expenditure, indicators of more limited dietary change with migration, and indicators of increased social support.
被迫迁移使家庭面临家庭粮食不安全和经济困难的风险。我们进行了一项问卷调查，以调查49名最近合法重新安置的苏丹难民样本中的家庭粮食不安全情况，这些难民家中至少有一名3岁以下儿童。在接受调查的家庭中，37%经历过家庭粮食不安全，12%报告在前一个月内有儿童饥饿情况。家庭粮食不安全程度的加剧与幼儿成年照料者对高成本、高营养密度食品的消费量减少以及一些低成本苏丹传统食品的消费量增加有关。此外，家庭粮食不安全与家庭和人均食品支出减少、迁移后饮食变化更有限的指标以及社会支持增加的指标有关。
