Food insecurity questionnaire on knowledge, attitudes, and practices for perinatal care professionals.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPerinatal care professionals are presented with regular opportunities to screen for food insecurity risk and provide referrals for their patients. However, their own experience or lack thereof with food insecurity may interfere with the implementation of screening. Thus, we aimed to develop, validate, and pilot a food insecurity knowledge, attitudes, and practices questionnaire (KAP-FI) for perinatal care professionals that can support the implementation of universal screening for food insecurity.
methodA multi-step process included (a) questionnaire development, (b) content validation, (c) face validation, (d) reliability and readability, and (e) pilot assessment of KAP-FI. The research team developed the questionnaire; five experts in maternal-child health assisted with content validity, and eight perinatal care professionals assisted with face validity and readability. The pilot phase was carried out with seventy-two perinatal care professionals providing direct services to pregnant people or children under three years in Clark County, Nevada, United States.
resultsKAP-FI included 53 items after content validation, face validation, and pilot phases. Responses from the pilot showed that about 60% of professionals (n = 42) are aware of the 2-item food insecurity screening tool (Hunger Vital Sign™), but of that half (n = 23) indicated that universal screening for food insecurity may not be beneficial to clients/patients. Nonetheless, professionals shared that food insecurity screening (n = 62, 86.1%), referral (n = 69, 95.8%), and follow-up (n = 71, 98.6%) would increase patients trust in them. Thus, 40% (n = 29) reported using a checklist or other reminders to prompt them to screen their clients/patients for food insecurity risk.
conclusionsKAP-FI is an appropriate and feasible tool to identify baseline barriers and facilitators on knowledge, attitudes, and practices of perinatal care professionals to address food insecurity in the United States.
