Code for 'Food-insecure women eat a less diverse diet in a more temporally variable way: Evidence from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2013-4'

Code to reproduce the analyses in the study 'Food-insecure women eat a less diverse diet in a more temporally variable way: Evidence from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2013-4' The analysis requires two R scripts available here, plus original 2013-4 NHANES data files, downloadable from the NHANES website (https://wwwn.cdc.gov/nchs/nhanes/continuousnhanes/default.aspx?BeginYear=2013). The first R script, 'merging script.r' takes the original NHANES files, extracts the variables required for the study, merges them into a single data frame, and saves this in .csv format. The NHANES files it requires are: # Demographics, food insecurity and BMI DEMO_H.XPT FSQ_H.XPT BMX_H.XPT # Summary files of food recalls DR1TOT_H.XPT DR2TOT_H.XPT # Individual foods files from food recalls DR1FF_H.XPT DR2FF_H.XPT The second R script takes the .csv file output by the merging script, and reproduces the analyses and figures described in the paper.
