This salient resource offers clinicians a comprehensive
multi-tiered framework for identifying, addressing, and reducing
food insecurity among children and their families. Reinforcing the
importance of food insecurity as a key social determinant of
health, this monograph reviews the epidemiology and presents
in-depth guidelines for screening for food insecurity and hunger.
Recommendations for screening in a busy clinical setting as well as
the strengths and limitations of widely-used instruments are
discussed. The monograph also outlines a variety of clinic-level
interventions, potential community-based resources, and
opportunities for clinical-community partnerships to improve
families' food access and security. Further, contributors provide
workable plans for large-scale advocacy through greater engagement
with professional and community resources as well as policymakers.
The monograph concludes with an outline of the critical steps to
implement a food insecurity screening process and the key
components to train the next generation of provider-advocates.
Included in the coverage: Epidemiology and pathophysiology of food
insecurity Screening tools and training Scope of interventions to
address food insecurity Creation and evaluation of the impact of
food insecurity-focused clinical-community partnerships on patients
and populations Development of an action plan to fight food
insecurity Identifying and Addressing Childhood Food Insecurity in
Healthcare and Community Settings will find an engaged audience
among physicians and other clinicians who want to address food
insecurity in their healthcare and/or community setting.
Institutions that are starting to address social determinants of
health, including food insecurity, will find guidance on screening
tools, processes and evaluation of impact.
