Children's Hospital Colorado (CQ Fritz, MS Brittan, E Mazzio, J Pitkin, and C Suh), Aurora, Colo; Department of Pediatrics, University of Colorado School of Medicine (CQ Fritz, MS Brittan, E Mazzio, J Pitkin, and C Suh), Aurora, Colo.
Objective: Despite increased routine screening for food insecurity (FI) in pediatric medical settings, the uptake of offered food resources after FI identification is not well understood. We aimed to 1) describe utilization of referral and supplemental resources and 2) identify characteristics associated with utilization.
Methods: We linked hospital screening and Electronic Medical Record data to Hunger Free Colorado (HFC) referral data for patients 0 to 18 years who were screened in the emergency department (ED), inpatient, or outpatient setting from January 2017 to December 2018.
