Current Population Survey Food Security Supplement

A national survey conducted to obtain information about household food expenditures, food program participation, food sufficiency, ways for coping with food insecurity, and concerns about food security. The universe for the survey are households eligible for the basic Current Population Survey (CPS). This includes households that are 185 percent of poverty and lower that will be asked all supplement questions as well as households over 185 percent of poverty that will be asked only a few questions, unless their answers identify them as "food insecure" and therefore eligible for the entire supplement. This is a proxy response supplement. However, interviewers are asked to interview (if at all possible) the person who buys or prepares the food for the household.

一项旨在获取关于家庭食品支出、食品项目参与、食品充足度、应对食品不安全的方法以及食品安全担忧信息的全国性调查。调查对象为符合基本人口普查调查（CPS）资格的家庭。这包括那些收入低于贫困线185%的家庭，他们将回答所有补充问题，以及收入超过贫困线185%的家庭，除非他们的回答表明他们是“食品不安全”的，因此有资格回答全部补充问题。这是一项代理响应补充调查。然而，调查员被要求（如果可能的话）采访负责购买或准备家庭食品的人。
