Summary

This is a pilot study to determine how to identify and characterize effective approaches to assist Hispanic families who face food insecurity worsened by the Covid-19 pandemic. The investigators will enroll 50 children with food insecurity who are patients of the largest Federally Qualified Health Center in Austin, Texas. The investigators will follow them for 6 months, providing their caretakers with community resources, food literacy education and assisting them with web sites and applications that they can use to learn about and contact community assistance programs. The investigators will review food insecurity screening, qualitative interviews, dietary assessments, the child's anthropometrics, and standard of care laboratory results. The investigators will schedule follow up phone visits throughout the study to discuss with the families their needs and perceived assistance from the resources provided.
