Article Synopsis
- The study highlights the growing acknowledgment of social determinants of health (SDOH) in clinical settings to enhance health outcomes and reduce inequities, focusing on a pilot project in Northern California.
- An 11-question paper questionnaire was used to screen SDOH needs among patients during specific visits over five weeks, collecting data on various health-related domains and patient sociodemographics.
- Results indicated that 50% of screened patients had at least one social need, with stress being the most prevalent; additionally, visits were longer on average compared to the previous year, especially for certain demographics like seniors and those with public insurance.
