ecls-k food security status data

overview
The Early Childhood Longitudinal Survey, Kindergarten Class of 1998-99
(ECLS-K) Food Security file was prepared by ERS to facilitate analysis
of food security in households of children in the ECLS-K, an ongoing
effort by the U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education
Statistics (NCES). The study follows a nationally representative sample
of approximately 22,000 children from kindergarten through fifth grade.
data files
The ECLS-K Food Security File provides both interval-level and categorical
measures of each household's food security status. The Food Security
File matches to the ECLS-K 1998-99 Child Data File by child identification
number (CHILDID). The Child Data File provides data on a broad array
of topics about kindergarten-age children and their families.
