Food referrals to help children with health conditions
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a program that helps families with food insecurity get connected to food resources. It is for children ages 5–18 who are already seen at certain specialty clinics and who receive Medicaid or SNAP.
