<![CDATA[Introduction/Main Objectives: Food insecurity in Papua, Indonesia, is still high. However, the study on that issue is limited. This research aims to analyze the determinants of food insecurity in Papua. Background Problems: An ordinal logistic regression can be used. However, this model generally requires the parallel lines assumption. However, somehow, the assumption is often violated. Novelty: This study used a model that relaxes the assumption of parallel lines. This model can capture the condition that some parameters are assumed to meet parallel lines and some do not. Research Methods: In this case, the partial proportional odds model was applied to find the determinant of household food insecurity status by using the National Socioeconomic Survey (SUSENAS) data. Finding/Results: The results show that a female head of household, age 60 years and above, junior high school education and below, has a higher tendency to be at least mildly food insecure, and the effect is the same for each level of food insecurity. Household heads who do not work, work in agriculture, and have household drinking water sources that are not feasible can aggravate the food insecurity level. Meanwhile, food assistance provided by the government influences reducing food insecurity levels.]]>
