Definition
The Abbreviated Child and Adult Food Security Scale (ACAFSS) is a highly sensitive, specific, and valid scale for detecting severity levels of Food Insecurity (FI) among adults and children in household. The ACAFSS is recommended as a stand-alone scale or a follow-up scale after households with children screen positive for FI risk. The ACAFSS is also recommended for planning interventions and evaluating their effects not only on the binary categories of food security and FI, but also on changes in levels of severity, especially when rapid decision making is crucial.
