HUNGER IN AMERICA:
Methodology & What’s New
Primary
O
bjective: More precise client count estimates at the local level
2014: Collectively, the network visited twice as many programs for client data collection than in 2010
2014: The study’s scope was expanded to include all program types (e.g., senior centers, rehabilitation programs, mobile pantries, etc.)
This is the first time
Hunger in America
was offered in five languages.
2014: English, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, Russian, Vietnamese
The study was administered electronically to increase accuracy and protect respondent privacy.
This is the first time
Hunger in America
has obtained data on
U.S. M
ilitary households, adult students, household medical conditions, and duplicated client counts.
Because of this dramatic change in scope and format,
Hunger in America 2014
cannot
be directly compared to previous studies. In framing our storylines for 2014, the National Office
will not
be making direct comparisons to the findings from 2010.Slide5

3 categories.

clients may have responded differently
.
Client surveys were only collected at
pantries, kitchens, and shelters
.
Client surveys were collected at all eligible program types, including
senior meals, residential programs, and more
.
Client demographics may have shifted by
