Equitable social determinants of health (SDOH) screening has been recommended by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and the Joint Commission; however, little is known about Spanish-speaking caregiver preferences on how they would like to be screened. We conducted a cross-sectional study at 3 pediatric clinics (October-December 2019). Caregivers completed (in English or Spanish) an SDOH screening preferences survey. Three hundred eighty-two of 443 caregivers approached (response rate = 86.2%) completed the survey. Most were female, preferred Spanish, and completed only high school. Spanish-speaking caregivers had greater odds of preferring verbal SDOH screening (odds ratio: 4.1; 95% confidence interval, 1.8-9.2) than English-speaking caregivers. Verbal SDOH screening should be a consideration in families who speak Spanish. Future studies should utilize qualitative methods to further explore Spanish-speaking caregiver preferences for SDOH screening.

Importance: Health systems are increasingly required to conduct health-related social needs screening. However, how social resources negatively and positively affect recovery from acute illnesses, such as COVID-19, is incompletely understood.
Objective: To examine how social determinants of health (SDOH) influence recovery from COVID-19.

Background: Despite advances in trauma care, the effects of social determinants of health continue to be a barrier to optimal health outcomes. Health-related social needs (HRSNs), now the basis of a Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services national screening program, may contribute to poor health outcomes, inequities, and low-value care, but the impact of HRSNs among injured patients remains poorly understood at the national level.
Methods: Using data from the nationally representative 2021 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey, injured patients were matched with uninjured controls via coarsened exact matching on age and sex.

Background: We aimed to identify and classify barriers and facilitators of implementation of research finding in healthcare.
Methods: A scoping review was conducted using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). Articles were extracted from online databases.
Purpose Of Review: This review aims to evaluate the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on cancer health equity, specifically investigating whether AI is addressing or widening disparities in cancer outcomes.
Recent Findings: Recent studies demonstrate significant advancements in AI, such as deep learning for cancer diagnosis and predictive analytics for personalized treatment, showing potential for improved precision in care. However, concerns persist about the performance of AI tools across diverse populations due to biased training data.

Introduction: Oral anticoagulants (OAC) reduce the risk of stroke among patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, adherence remains suboptimal. We focused on primary nonadherence to OAC and its associations with patient characteristics-specifically social determinants of health collected in electronic health records (EHR).
