Exploring the gap: food insecurity and resource engagement.
Researchers investigated participant interest in referral and engagement with resources provided by pediatric health care institutions implementing food insecurity (FI) screens. They found that, through hospital-community partnership in an initial attempt to screen and offer direct-referral for FI, they elicited considerable interest among families for connection to resource agencies. However, there was a substantial gap between referral acceptance and ultimate connection with the resource agency.
