  abstract = {{B}ackground: {I}n {F}rench {G}uiana, restrictions to control the spread of {SARS}-{C}o{V}-2 were put in place between {M}arch 2020 and {M}arch 2022. {I}n vulnerable urban neighborhoods, during this period, requests for food assistance increased and fear of hunger overtook fear of being affected by {COVID}-19. {O}bjective: {T}he objective of this survey was to describe food security during the {COVID}-19 pandemic in {F}rench {G}uiana and to study the relationship between the socioeconomic conditions of the study households and household hunger. {M}ethods: {A} multicenter survey was therefore conducted in mobile clinics and fixed structures providing care to at-risk urban populations. {I}n a face-to-face interview, a community health worker asked participants questions about the sociodemographic and economic profile of the household, and about household food security (food consumption score, coping strategies in the face of food shortages, and household hunger index). {T}wo hundred and seventy-seven households were recruited in {F}ebruary 2021. {R}esults: {A}ccording to the household hunger scale, 42.6% of households experienced moderate hunger and 23.8% of households experienced severe hunger in the month preceding the survey. {L}ack of residence permit, lack of social support, water insecurity, small housing, and lack of access to an urban garden were determinants related to the risk of household hunger. {C}onclusions: {F}ood insecurity have affected a large majority of the households in this survey, and the immediate consequences for children's health were already apparent. {T}hese results draw attention to a neglected health problem in a socioeconomically vulnerable population during the {COVID}-19 pandemic.},
