Abstract

Food insecurity Social determinants of health Social needs interventions
This chapter examines the different types of responses that can occur when a patient or family is identified as having food insecurity (FI). The chapter begins with how an individual healthcare provider responds to a positive FI screen within a clinical setting. Next, there is a discussion of how the larger community or practice can address FI in a broader way largely outside the clinic walls. Finally, the chapter discusses how healthcare providers can affect change by developing and advocating for policy changes in their region or nationally.
