Introduction: Screening and providing interventions for adverse social and behavioral determinants of health (SBDOHs) can potentially improve health outcomes. The purpose of this project was to evaluate the feasibility of screening for SBDOHs during an episodic visit at a school-based clinic and to evaluate whether it increased identification of and intervention for adverse SBDOHs. Methods: Common adverse SBDOHs were identified through stakeholder focus groups, a community assessment report, and interviews. Based on this information, a screening set was assembled with validated screening tools. All students presenting for episodic complaints were screened with this set, and the time taken to answer was documented. The number of SBDOHs identified and the number of interventions provided was compared with student encounters before introduction of the screening set. Results: The majority of screenings were completed in 5 minutes or less, and identification of adverse SBDOHs increased, as did the number of referrals and/or interventions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
