A focus group process, conducted by a community-academic partnership, qualitatively assessed food insecurity perspectives of parents and community staff assisting families with food assistance. Food insecurity was reported to affect all aspects of their life, increasing stress and reducing coping abilities. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality encourages research with priority populations, including low-income populations. This research supports the body of knowledge correlating relationships between poverty, food insecurity, and chronic health conditions. Perspectives of food-insecure people are often missing from policy and advocacy interventions. Nurses can use lessons learned and recommendations from this research to address food-insecurity-related health disparities.
一个由社区-学术伙伴关系开展的焦点小组过程，对家长以及为有食品援助需求的家庭提供帮助的社区工作人员关于粮食不安全的看法进行了定性评估。据报告，粮食不安全影响到他们生活的方方面面，增加了压力并降低了应对能力。医疗保健研究与质量局鼓励对包括低收入人群在内的重点人群开展研究。这项研究支持了将贫困、粮食不安全和慢性健康状况之间的关系联系起来的知识体系。政策和宣传干预措施中往往缺少粮食不安全人群的看法。护士可以利用从这项研究中吸取的经验教训和建议来解决与粮食不安全相关的健康差距问题。
