Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) patients struggle with food, housing, and transportation insecurity

  • Date: 06/17/2024

For the first time, a study led by Boston University School of Public Health (BUSPH) researchers obtained data from all US FQHCs that reported positive screening rates of food insecurity, housing insecurity, financial strain, and lack of transportation, and found that more than 1 in 10 FQHC patients reported experiencing at least one of these social risk factors in 2022.

Published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine, the findings also showed that rates of these risk factors were significantly higher among FQHCs with greater proportions of patients from historically disenfranchised groups.
