Scope of Interventions to Address Food Insecurity
Identifying and Addressing Childhood Food Insecurity in Healthcare and Community Settings
08 May 2018
Abstract
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.
