Abstract

Food insecurity is defined as having inadequate resources to ensure that everyone in a household has enough food to be properly nourished, without disruptions. 12% of the population in Clinton County, NY is food insecure. The aim of this project was to identify barriers to clinicians addressing food insecurity, and to provide information for both patients and providers to improve utilization of food assistance resources among food-insecure patients.
