The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recently requested public comment on the Draft Recommendation Statement on Food Insecurity: Screening, which concluded that the current evidence is insufficient to assess the balance of benefits and harms of screening for food insecurity on health outcomes in the primary care setting. TRCC signed onto a comment letter with Children’s HealthWatch, Food Research and Action Center and Hunger Vital Sign National Community of Practice to applaud the USPSTF for its efforts to review and synthesize the evidence on the benefits and harms of screening for and interventions to ameliorate food insecurity. The letter encourages the USPSTF to continue its work, build on its existing review, and widen its scope to explore and identify evidence demonstrating the USPSTF’s accurate assumption that “providing adequate food and nutrition to those without consistent access to it due to poverty is a crucial component of overall health.” Click here to view the full letter.
