Mental Health Services Research
Public Health Nutrition
Health Services Integration

Background:

Food insecurity (FI) disproportionately affects adults with severe mental illness (SMI), impacting medication adherence and health outcomes.
Routine screening for FI is currently lacking in SMI healthcare settings.
Co-production with individuals with lived experience is key to effective FI screening integration.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore integrating food insecurity screening into routine mental healthcare for adults with SMI.
To co-produce screening methods with individuals with lived experience of SMI.
To enhance the acceptability and implementation of FI screening in mental health services.

Main Methods:

Mixed-methods exploratory study in a UK NHS mental health Trust (April-June 2025).
Semi-structured interviews with peer-support workers (n=4) with SMI lived experience.
Anonymous online survey of mental health professionals (n=40) across disciplines.

Main Results:

Peer workers identified missed opportunities for FI screening and preferred flexible, non-stigmatizing methods.
Barriers included time, stigma, and lack of training; solutions involved care planning integration and trusted relationships.
Most professionals recognized FI screening importance, but only 33% routinely screened; support for short, compassionate tools and training was high.

Conclusions:

Normalizing FI screening in mental healthcare is urgently needed.
FI significantly impacts mental, physical health, and recovery for individuals with SMI.
Flexible, relationally delivered screening, particularly by peer workers, is most acceptable.
