Food security in rural and urban Venezuelan households on the Colombian-Venezuelan border.

The instrument was applied to 808 heads of households living in the municipalities of Torbes and Fernández Feo in the State of Táchira in Venezuela. These are households in a situation of economic vulnerability.
The variable defined as the dependent variable: "On some occasion when there was no food in the household" through a dichotomous response category: 1 = Yes and 2 = No.
The research hypotheses were:
1. H0: There is no significant evidence of a significant relationship or association between the time when there was no food in the household and the household's access to the CLAP box.
2. H0: there is no significant evidence of a relationship or association between the occasion when there was no food in the household and a member of the household having received money through a government voucher or mission.
3. H0: there is no significant evidence of a relationship or association between the occasion when there was no food in the household and a member of the household went to bed hungry.
4. H0: There is no significant evidence of a significant relationship or association between the occasion when there was no food in the household and a household member went a whole day and night without food.
5. H0: There is no significant evidence of a significant relationship or association between the occasion when there was no food in the household and difficulties in acquiring food due to lack of income.
6. H0: there is no significant evidence of a relationship or association between occasions when there was no food in the household and asking for help from friends and family to feed themselves.
7. H0: there is no significant evidence of a relationship or association between the occasion when there was no food in the household and reduced portion sizes at meal times.
8. H0: there is no significant evidence of a relationship or association between the occasion when there was no food in the household and having restricted the amount of food consumed by adults so that children can eat.
9. H0: There is no significant evidence of a relationship or association between the occasion when there was no food in the household and a reduced number of meals per day.
10. H0: There is no significant evidence of a relationship or association between the occasion when there was no food in the household and at least one of the household members receiving a food basket or bag as a benefit for his or her work.
11. H0: there is no significant evidence of a relationship or association between the occasion when there was no food in the household and receiving food or help to buy food from an organization other than the school canteen.
