Interviewer instructions
<span class="h2">15.6 Section VI. Food</span></p>

<p>This topic includes three questions: 1. Access to food in the housing unit, 2. Adult diet, 3. Food intake of adults.
<br />If you used more than one questionnaire, record the data in this section in the last one you used.
<br />Before applying them, read the introductory text: "Now I'm going to ask you about the food of the people who live here."</p>

<p>In order for the information to be useful, it is very important that the answer obtained refers to the following:</p>
<div class="i1">- The last three months.<br />- Food limitations caused exclusively by lack of money or resources in the home.</div><span class="em">1. Access to food in the housing unit</span>
<br />This question identifies housing units where residents have run out of food at some point in the last three months and did not have the money or resources to buy more.</p>

<p><span class="pg">[p. 427]</span></p>

<p>If you are asked what you mean by lack of resources or what resources are, explain that they are non-monetary ways of acquiring food.</p>
