To describe three relevant aspects of household food insecurity (FI) in Mexico: its magnitude, its distribution by social and nutritional vulnerability characteristics; its evolution between 2012 and 2016 and the effect of food assistance programs on FI in Mexican households.
Data on 9 019 households were drawn from the 2016 National Health and Nutrition Survey (Ensanut 2016 for its Spanish initials) and were compared with data from the 2012 Ensanut. An analysis of differences in differences was made to measure the effect of food assis-tance programs on the evolution of FI.
As many as 69.5% of households were classified as FI. Families located in rural areas (78.0%) and residing in southern Mexico (76.3%). Households with support from a food assistance program experienced a decrease in moderate and severe FI between 2012 and 2016.
Findings can be used to design and target public policies seeking to improve food security governance in Mexico.
描述墨西哥家庭粮食不安全（FI）的三个相关方面：其程度、按社会和营养脆弱性特征的分布情况；2012年至2016年间的演变以及粮食援助计划对墨西哥家庭FI的影响。
数据来自2016年全国健康与营养调查（西班牙语首字母缩写为Ensanut 2016）中的9019户家庭，并与2012年Ensanut的数据进行比较。采用差异分析来衡量粮食援助计划对FI演变的影响。
多达69.5%的家庭被归类为粮食不安全。位于农村地区的家庭（78.0%）以及居住在墨西哥南部的家庭（76.3%）。在2012年至2016年间，得到粮食援助计划支持的家庭中度和重度粮食不安全情况有所减少。
研究结果可用于设计和制定旨在改善墨西哥粮食安全治理的公共政策。
