A cross‐sectional online survey was conducted among caregivers of children aged &lt;2 years in Ireland in May/June 2020. Relevant survey questions were closed‐ended using two established tools for measuring food poverty/insecurity; the Irish Food Poverty Indicator and the Food Insecurity Experience Scale, developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization. Descriptive statistics were used to calculate the prevalence of food poverty/insecurity. To explore agreement in the classification of food insecurity by the Food Poverty Indicator and the Food Insecurity Experience Scale, Cohen's κ was used. Analyses are based on 716 participants; most had a 3rd‐level education and were married or in a partnership. Per the food poverty index, Ireland's national measure of food poverty, 3.9% (n = 28) of our sample were experiencing food poverty. This rose to 10.5% (n = 75) experiencing food insecurity when using the Food Insecurity Experience Scale, which also measures worry/anxiety around access to food. There was low agreement between the tools, with 11.3% of the sample classified as food secure by one tool and food insecure by the other. Our current measure of food poverty in Ireland may not be sufficient to describe the food‐access struggles or worry/anxiety about food access, experienced by the population, particularly during an emergency like COVID‐19.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1471-9827</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1467-3010</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1111/nbu.12658</identifier><identifier>PMID: 38234252</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>England: Wiley Subscription Services, Inc</publisher><subject>Anxiety ; Caregivers ; Children ; COVID-19 ; food insecurity ; food poverty ; Food security ; Surveys</subject><ispartof>Nutrition bulletin, 2024-03, Vol.49 (1), p.73-81</ispartof><rights>2024 The Authors. published by John Wiley &amp; Sons Ltd on behalf of British Nutrition Foundation.</rights><rights>2024 The Authors.
