Description and Learning Objectives

Description

Food insecurity affects children’s health at many levels, from physical, to mental, to developmental aspects. Across the lifespan, from pregnancy to older adults, food insecurity is associated with worse overall health, impaired chronic disease management, and increased utilization of acute care, which results in increased cost of care. Some of the effects of food insecurity in children are increased risks of birth defects, anemia, cognitive problems, developmental delays, anxiety, and depression. Long-standing, structural racism is a significant cause of inequities experienced by racial and ethnic minorities. This legacy of inequity ultimately propagates disparities in food access and food justice.

This course is designed to educate pediatricians to screen patients for food security at every healthcare visit and address food insecurity for patients who screen positive. The clinical activities in this course will suggest screeners as well as techniques to address food insecurity in clinical settings, educate patients, their families/caregivers, on community resources, and then follow up by verifying patients, families, and caregivers have connected with community resources.

Increase pediatricians’ knowledge of food and nutrition security
Increase pediatricians’ knowledge of screening, intervention and referrals, and follow-up care to promote food security
Identify tools to improve performance of primary care practices to screen and intervene to promote food security
Provide strategies to build pediatricians’ confidence as they screen and intervene to promote food security
