Objective: The aim of the study is to assess the association of social determinants of health (SDOH) education and social needs training on pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) physician perception and practices of social care.
Methods: Data were derived from the 2021 National Social Care Practices Survey of PEM program directors (PDs) and fellows. Ordinal and binary logistic regression modeling were completed for educational/training factors and social care perspective and practice outcomes.
Results: A national sample of 44 PDs (49% response rate) and 109 fellows (28%) participated. A minority of fellows received SDOH education and social needs training during fellowship. Fellows and PDs with SDOH education had a 3.1 odds (95% confidence interval CI, 1.4-6.9) of screening for social needs, with 4.4 odds among fellows (95% CI, 1.2-20.7). Those with social needs training were more comfortable assessing social risk, with 2.4 odds overall (95% CI, 1.2-4.7) and 3.1 odds among fellows (95% CI, 1.4-6.7). They also had 2.4 odds overall (95% CI, 1.1-4.9) of screening for social needs, with a 2.9 odds among fellows (95% CI, 1.3-6.8).
Conclusions: Social care education and training appear to be associated with comfort assessing social risk and social needs screening tendency among both PEM PDs and fellows. Key areas for educational interventions are identified among PEM fellows, who are uniquely positioned as clinical leaders and patient advocates.
