| Description: |
With the aim of contributing to this emerging literature, we investigated: (i) how MDD-W is linked to household food insecurity based on the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS) and on the Household Hunger Scale (HHS); (ii) how MDD-W is linked to farm production diversity; and (iii) whether contextual factors such as household wealth status modify these relationships. As a secondary objective, we also checked whether all of these associations held, or not, when the number of food groups consumed was used as a continuous variable, in order to conclude on the cost of dichotomization. |
