To evaluate the relationships between household food insecurity, household coping strategies, and children's dietary intake in urban low-income communities.
Conducted a cross-sectional assessment of 55 mother–child pairs in Simolawang and Bulak Banteng, Surabaya, Indonesia from September 2025 to February 2026.
Assessed food security using the HFIAS, coping behaviors via the r-CSI, food literacy with the SFLQ, and dietary intake using an SQ-FFQ.
Evaluated relationships across variables using Pearson correlation and multivariate regression analyses.
Most surveyed households (61.82%) were classified as food secure, while the remainder experienced varying levels of food insecurity.
Household food insecurity demonstrated no statistically significant association with children's energy or macronutrient intake.
Coping strategy scores were positively associated with household food insecurity (β = 0.26–0.27), indicating increased reliance on coping behaviors as food access declined.
