A preliminary study was carried out to examine whether caretaker reports of food insecurity were associated with anxiety and depression among four ethnic groups in two communities of rural Tanzania. The findings indicate that women might use expressions of hunger and food insecurity as a way to express their anxiety and depression which, if any, of the hypothesis is correct has implications for community-based interventions and, for measuring and monitoring food insecurity.
