Hi everyone, On May 18, 2017, PROOF and CDPAC are putting on their third and final webinar in their series on food insecurity in Canada. This webinar will focus on the impact of food insecurity on health and health care. You can watch recordings of our previous webinars on monitoring food insecurity and the drivers of vulnerability at: http://proof.utoronto.ca/resources/webinar/#past. Lists of additional resources are also available. We hope you will join us for webinar #3. Please share widely. How does food insecurity relate to health and what are the implications for health care providers? Date: May 18, 2017 from 1:00 - 2:30 pm EST Register now at: https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/6830617413940098051 Presenters: Valerie Tarasuk, PhD, Professor, University of Toronto and PROOF principal investigator Lynn McIntyre, MD, MHSc, FRCPC, FCAHS, Professor Emerita, University of Calgary and PROOF investigator Carlota Basualdo-Hammond, MSc, MPH, RD, Executive Director, Nutrition Services, Alberta Health Services Description: Please join PROOF and CDPAC for the final webinar in their series on household food insecurity. In this webinar, we will examine evidence of the impact of food insecurity on individuals' mental and physical health and the financial burden food insecurity poses for our healthcare system. Although food insecurity is associated with dietary compromise, its effects on health extend beyond those associated with poor nutrition. We will discuss the complex relationship between food insecurity and health, considering the evidence of a bidirectional relationship for some conditions and disentangling the relation between food insecurity and malnutrition. Finally, we will examine the implications of this body of research for practice, particularly considering the challenges that arise in providing care to patients who are experiencing food insecurity.
