dc.description.abstractTHE OBJECTIVE WAS TO DETERMINE THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC FACTORS AND FOOD INSECURITY (FI) IN HAITIAN IMMIGRANTS IN SOUTHERN CHILE. AN ANALYTICAL CROSS-SECTIONAL DESIGN WAS USED. THE SAMPLE CONSISTED OF HAITIAN IMMIGRANTS RESIDING IN SOUTHERN CHILE, WHO WERE RECRUITED FROM COMMUNITY CENTERS AND COMPLETED A SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC QUESTIONNAIRE AND THE LATIN-AMERICAN AND CARIBBEAN FOOD SECURITY SCALE. MULTIVARIABLE ANALYSES WERE PERFORMED TO IDENTIFY FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH FI. FI PREVALENCE IN THE 234 PARTICIPANTS WAS 78%; 60% HAD SEVERE FI. HAVING CHILDREN (OR 3.6; 95% CI 1.6?7.4), LIMITED SPANISH PROFICIENCY (OR 3.5; 95% CI 1.8?7.3), NO ACCESS TO BASIC SERVICES (OR 2.8; 95% CI 1.2?6.4), AND NOT BEING A LEGAL PERMANENT RESIDENT (OR 2.4; 95% CI 1.1?6.1) WERE ASSOCIATED WITH SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER ODDS OF FI. OVER THREE-QUARTERS OF HAITIAN IMMIGRANTS IN SOUTHERN CHILE SUFFER FROM FI. TAILORED INTERVENTION STRATEGIES ARE NEEDED TO ADDRESS THIS MAJOR PUBLIC-HEALTH ISSUE, WITH A SPECIAL FOCUS ON THOSE AT HIGHEST RISK, INCLUDING FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN, AND THOSE WITH LIMITED SPANISH PROFICIENCY, NO ACCESS TO BASIC SERVICES, AND WITHOUT LEGAL PERMANENT RESIDENT STATUS.
