Culturally-informed food insecurity screener developed for patients

A new study published in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior highlights the development of a culturally-informed approach to screening for food insecurity among patients at Northern Navajo Medical Center (NNMC) in Shiprock, New Mexico. The alternative screener aims to reduce stigma, improve patient comfort, and reflect local food traditions and community food access better.
