Book Chapter Description

Food insecurity is described as invisible due to the unreliability of growth parameters or laboratory tests to detect struggling families. Effective screening requires standardized utilization of screening tools integrated into the clinical workflow and well-trained clinicians. In this chapter, we will first introduce a variety of screening tools that can be used clinically, either individually or as part of a more comprehensive social risk screening program. We will also introduce innovative curricula and evaluation tools to train clinicians, including trainees, to recognize the impact of FI and learn to appropriately screen families.
