Assessing Pediatric Food Insecurity During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Austin

Status unconfirmed

Conditions studied: Food Insecurity

In brief

The investigators suspect that the current COVID-19 pandemic may be associated with a high level of unsuspected food insecurity among lower income Austin families who receive their health care at a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). Pediatricians will ask families about food insecurity as part of standard of care in order to assess if food insecurity has begun or worsened during the pandemic.
