In one study, a significant proportion of healthcare providers recognized the challenge of food insecurity for some patients, but few actively screen for it. However, although many voiced concern about the appropriate course of action in light of positive results, most expressed willingness to conduct screenings. The American Academy of Pediatrics has issued a recommendation to screen for food insecurity during health supervision visits in pediatric primary care settings. In addition, many hospitals and schools incorporate screenings into their intake and discharge processes.
