Exploratory evaluation of food insecurity programs initiated by health care organizations: A summary report of tackling hunger consultative group recommendations

The Tackling Hunger Project exploratory evaluation uses the Systematic Screening and Assessment Method (SSA) 1 to assess promising practices to identify and address the needs of food insecure patients2 with chronic health conditions. The project aims to identify food insecurity interventions in which health care organizations play a substantive role – by identifying food insecure patients and connecting them with outside resources or by providing interventions themselves.
