Cassandra J. Nguyen, PhD, Nutrition Department, University of California Davis, discusses how she and co-investigators worked with the Navajo Nation to develop a culturally-informed food insecurity screener using familiar images and traditional foods to improve patient comfort and screening accuracy. This alternative screener reduces stigma, improves patient comfort, and reflects local food traditions and community food access better.
