Description

FSDAYCHM indicates whether or not a child in the household did not eat for a full day in the last 30 days because the household could not afford sufficient food. This variable is available only in households where children did not eat for an entire day in the past year (FSDAYCH).

This question is one of the 8 items included in 30-day child food security scale, FSSTATUSMC and is also used to determine household food security status FSSTATUSM. Households are screened into this section of the supplement based on income and preliminary questions on food access (see FSSCREEN for more information). FSDAYCH is subject to a second internal screener.

FSDAYCHM was not released in CPS public use files for 2019. There were not enough responses to meet Census guidelines for disclosure.

This variable is part of the Food Security Supplement.
