Source
This table was constructed based on all responses
to Questions 6, 12a, 13, 14a, and 15 of the client survey.
Notes
were calculated without leaving out item
nonresponses (labeled "unknown"). Because this table was constructed combining
responses to several questions, excluding item nonresponses could have caused
confusion. All responses were weighted as described in Chapter 3 and in the
Technical Appendix volume to represent all emergency food clients or households
of the A2H network.
