A Qualitative Study of Collaborative Food Programs: Insights from a FQHC–University Partnership During COVID-19
In conclusion, this study offers preliminary evidence supporting the unique potential of university-community partnerships to address food insecurity. Unlike previous research that emphasized clinical outcomes, our findings provide a contextualized understanding of programmatic implementation. While further quantitative evaluation is necessary, this work lays the groundwork for a collaborative model between various entities including universities, healthcare systems, clinics, and community health/food services aimed at addressing social determinants of health.
