Abstract

Objective: Refugees are highly susceptible to food insecurity during resettlement, a time when access to quality information is vital. This study's objective was to analyze a national sample of food security information resources' suitability, accuracy, and currency for refugee populations.

Methods: Resources were categorized and then analyzed using Suitability Assessment of Materials; Simple Measure of Gobbledygook; and currency, relevance, accuracy, authority, and purpose.

Results: Nearly 70% of resources were developed by government departments or agencies and topic range was limited across the 184 unique resources. Nearly all resources were suitable, accurate, and current. However, 96% were above the readability threshold recommended for refugee populations.

Conclusions and implications: Resources rated well but were challenging to access in terms of readability. Extensive work is required to improve refugee food security resources using existing assets, in future resource development, and via further research.

澳大利亚难民安置食品安全资源的适宜性、可读性和准确性。

目标：难民在重新安置期间极易受到粮食不安全的影响，在此期间获得高质量信息至关重要。本研究的目的是分析一个国家的粮食安全信息资源对难民人口的适用性、准确性和适用性。方法：采用材料适宜性评价法对资源进行分类分析；简单衡量官样文章；货币，相关性，准确性，权威和目的。结果：近70%的资源是由政府部门或机构开发的，184个独特资源的主题范围有限。几乎所有的资源都是合适的、准确的和最新的。然而，96%的人超过了为难民人群推荐的可读性阈值。结论和启示：资源评价良好，但在可读性方面具有挑战性。需要开展广泛的工作，利用现有资产、在未来的资源开发中以及通过进一步的研究来改善难民粮食安全资源。
