Individual and community level factors associated with household level food insecurity of Ethiopia: multilevel mixed effects analysis of 2021 Performance Monitoring for Action Ethiopia (PMA-ET).

ABSTRACT:

Background

People who face restricted or uncertain physical and economic access to safe, sufficient, and nutritious food to suit their dietary needs or food choices for a productive, healthy, and active life are said to be in a state or situation of food insecurity. There is a dearth of evidence of individual and community-level factors associated with household-level food insecurity in Ethiopia. Thus, this study aimed to assess individual and community-level factors associated with household-level food insecurity to fill the aforementioned gap.

Methods

This study analyzed the 2021 Performance Monitoring for Action Ethiopia (PMA-ET) datasets. A total of 24,965 participants in the 2021 Performance Monitoring for Action Ethiopia (PMA-ET) datasets were included in the analysis.
