| Abstrakt: | The stigma associated with food assistance is a significant barrier to resolution of food insecurity. Interventions and policies aimed at reducing food insecurity would benefit from the inclusion of strategies aimed at minimizing food assistance stigma. We developed the Food Resource Acceptability Questionnaire (FRAQ), a scale that measures the perceptions of stigma associated with food assistance. Qualitative interviews, modified Delphi technique, and exploratory factor analysis were used to develop and evaluate the 17-item scale. The FRAQ consists of two subscales (stigma and the belief that food is a basic right) to measure the likelihood of individuals perceiving food assistance as socially and culturally acceptable. Cronbach's alphas were 0.85, 0.80, and 0.89 for the Stigma subscale, Food as a Basic Right subscale, and the overall FRAQ, respectively. Additional research is needed to determine the applicability of the FRAQ in diverse populations.
