Validation of a self-report home food availability checklist against in-home food inventories conducted in low-income Black/African American and Hispanic/Latinx households with preschool-age children.

ABSTRACT: Home food availability (HFA) checklists can be completed by self-report to assess the home food environment. Checklists developed for Black/African American (B/AA) and Hispanic/Latinx (H/L) households are seldom validated against objective approaches such as exhaustive in-home food inventories. This study validated a self-report HFA checklist developed for B/AA and H/L households (n = 97) against researcher-completed HFA checklists verified by exhaustive in-home food inventories. Mean estimates of sensitivity, specificity, and area of the receiver operating curve (ROC), and interrater agreement (Gwet AC1) were calculated to examine the accuracy and agreement of self-reported checklists against direct observation of individual food items. Mean differences in HFA food group scores were compa
