Missed Opportunities to Address SNAP for Nonenrolled Children
In a nationally representative sample of children who were potentially eligible but nonenrolled in SNAP, we found low primary care attendance in 2021 with evidence of racial and linguistic disparities. Clinicians beyond the primary care system are well-positioned to support children who jointly underuse government nutrition programs and primary care services.
