Change in the Proportion who Screened Positive for Food Insecurity with Implementation of Written Questionnaire

The proportion of patients who screened positive for household food insecurity per month when changing from a verbal (2017) to a written food insecurity screen (2018). The change from the verbal to the written FI questionnaire was associated with a significant increase in the food insecurity disclosure rates (β=0.04, 95% CI: 0.01, 0.07; p=0.02). The trend over time in FI disclosure rates in the 9 months prior (β=0.00, 95% CI: 0.000, 0.004; p=0.07) and the 9 months after (β=0.00, 95% CI: −0.004, 0.005; p=0.76) the implementation of the written questionnaire were not significant.
