WEBINAR How does food insecurity relate to health, implications for health care providers

Title: How does food insecurity relate to health and what are the implications for health care providers? Series: PROOF Food Insecurity 3-Part Series Date: May 18, 2017 Webpage: http://www.cdpac.ca/content.php?doc=371 Description: In this 3rd webinar of the series, we examined evidence of the impact of food insecurity on individuals’ mental and physical health and the financial burden food insecurity poses for our healthcare system. Although food insecurity is associated with dietary compromise, its effects on health extend beyond those associated with poor nutrition. We discussed the complex relationship between food insecurity and health, considered the evidence of a bidirectional relationship for some conditions and disentangling the relation between food insecurity and malnutrition. Finally, we examined the implications of this body of research for practice, particularly considering the challenges that arise in providing care to patients who are experiencing food insecurity.
