Publication Details: Validation of the Household Water Insecurity Experiences USA Scale (HWISE-USA) and new estimates of water insecurity in the United States
Technical Information: The file HWISEUSA_code.zip contains R (v4.5.1) and Stata (v19) code files that were used to analyze a harmonized data set of community-engaged household surveys conducted in 2024-2025 with ethical oversight from the Institutional Review Boards of multiple institutions. The code files can be used to replicate the measurement invariance and validation analyses (“Main Analyses.r”), robustness tests using different binning structures (“Binning schemes.r”) and severity scores (“Severity Scores.r”), and select figures and tables (“Figures.r” and “Code_ScalePaper_May2026.do”).
