Socio-demographic, migratory and health-related determinants of food insecurity among Venezuelan migrants in Peru.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate the factors associated with food insecurity (FI) among Venezuelan migrants residing in Peru. Secondarily, to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES).

Design

A cross-sectional study based on secondary data analysis of the 2022 Venezuelan Population Residing in Peru Survey (ENPOVE-2022, from the Spanish acronym) was conducted. FI was measured with the FIES, whose properties were tested using the Rasch model. Multinomial logistic regression was performed to estimate relative prevalence ratios with their corresponding 95 % confidence intervals.

Setting

This survey was conducted in February and March 2022 in the eight cities most populated by Venezuelan migrants and refugees in Peru.
