Pediatric Collections: Food Insecurity is designed specifically for pediatric clinicians and healthcare professionals to address food insecurity within clinical environments. Food insecurity significantly impacts single parents, individuals from racial and ethnic minorities, those with low incomes, and families with young children. It has a negative effect on health across all stages of life, leading to adverse psychosocial and physical health outcomes. Food insecurity can also hinder academic success and impose significant economic burdens on healthcare expenses. With the integration of screening for food insecurity in pediatric clinical settings now recognized as a standard of care, there are numerous intervention practices available that can be easily scaled and adopted within your practice and community.
