Assessing Food Insecurity in Primary Care: A Comparison Between an Internal Medicine– and a Student-Run Clinic

This study highlights the prevalence of food insecurity at primary care clinics, especially student-run clinics. Although limited by sample size and cultural barriers of the given survey, the findings emphasize the gap in standardized screening protocols for food security and the importance of physician sensitivity. Addressing this topic can improve food security and the health benefits that follow through early intervention.

Abstract

This study highlights the prevalence of food insecurity at primary care clinics, especially student-run clinics. Although limited by sample size and cultural barriers of the given survey, the findings emphasize the gap in standardized screening protocols for food security and the importance of physician sensitivity. Addressing this topic can improve food security and the health benefits that follow through early intervention.
