Food insecurity, a pressing public health crisis, intersects significantly in clinical, forensic, and behavioral health settings.

Food insecurity is also a factor to consider within the context of criminality and forensic mental health populations.

It will provide a thorough understanding of its implications for intake processes, effective screening, and intervention strategies.
