A community partnership to evaluate the feasibility of addressing food insecurity among adult patients in an urban healthcare system

Abstract: Background Food insecurity (FI) is a significant public health problem. Possible sequelae of prolonged food insecurity include kidney disease, obesity, and diabetes. Our objective was to assess the feasibility of a partnership between Henry Ford Health System (HFHS) and Gleaners Community Foodbank of Southeastern Michigan to implement and evaluate a food supplementation intervention initiated in a hospital outpatient clinic setting. Methods We esta… Show more

“…58 Additionally, a community partnership between an urban health care system and a food bank to deliver medically tailored meals to participants with chronic illness (including T2DM) demonstrated significant decreases in health care utilization compared to a historical control group. 59 Future evaluations could include a tailored approach to Food Is Medicine interventions to determine which resource (eg, SNAP benefits, food banks, or medically tailored meals) would best meet the need of individuals/ families. An ongoing RCT is evaluating the individual and combined effectiveness of food vouchers and food boxes, with and without diabetes education, specifically for Black adults with T2DM.…”

“…Many studies of food insecurity interventions use a quasiexperimental "effectiveness" design, evaluating the change in outcomes in a single population before versus after a food insecurity intervention, without a separate control group. [153][154][155][156][157][158][159][160] Randomized, controlled social interventions are difficult to design and conduct; however, researchers have previously demonstrated the feasibility and efficacy of testing various interventions to address food insecurity. 161,162 However, well-designed quasiexperimental studies, comparative effectiveness studies, investigation of heterogeneous treatment effects, and ethically designed randomized control trials that specifically focus on the impact of interventions will help guide important questions: "which works better?, for whom?, and why?"…”
