Abstract
The Expanded Food Security Screener (FSS-Exp) determines food insecurity risk based on physical, economic, and social access to food. It categorizes individuals into 5 priorities based on need for a home-delivered meal. Concurrent and construct validity were applied to the tool. For concurrent validity, partial correlations between FSS-Exp and health- and food-related measures were significant and ranged between 0.20 and 0.33. For construct validity, analysis of variance was used to examine scores of the health- and food-related tools by priority level. The 2 highest priority levels had significantly lower mean scores for all the health variables except for dietary intake. The FSS-Exp tool effectively identifies those most in need of meal services.
期刊介绍：
Topics in Clinical Nutrition (TICN) is a peer-reviewed, quarterly journal designed as a resource for the continuing education and clinical practice of dietitians and nutritionists. Each issue addresses topics of interest primarily to dietitians and nutritionists, students and interns in professional training programs and other health care personnel involved in the nutritional care of patients. Articles include translational research reports (work that applies new knowledge to practical effect), practice projects, evidence-based literature reviews, case studies and book reviews, and articles that highlight education theory and applied research which share the tools and techniques of nutrition and dietetics education.
