Objective. The purpose of this study is to develop an instrument that measures the food literacy and home food environment for urban food pantry clients and test the face validity of the developed instrument with food pantry clients. Methods. Standardized cognitive interviews with food pantry clients were conducted to test the face validity of this instrument at an urban food pantry in Northside, OH. Results. Seven items were necessary to improve clarity of language, provide adequate response options and reduce to the bias or assumptions. The instrument overall was seen to be appropriate for food pantry clients Conclusion. Necessary edits were made to make the Home Food Environment and Food Literacy tool more valid for urban food pantry clients in Northside, OH. Further research is necessary to test other types of validity and reliability of the Home Food Environment and Food Literacy tool in food insecure populations.
