“…Additionally, students learn through the MLP team model how to leverage partners with the expertise to address unmet social and legal needs so that they can more efficiently and effectively care for their patients. 26 Through the process of interprofessional problem solving, students come to understand the roles that each professional on the team plays in addressing SDH and improving patient and population health. For example, a social worker is instrumental in connecting patients with social services, public benefits, and community resources.…”

For too long, many stakeholders in the health care delivery system have ignored the extent to which social determinants of health (SDH) are inextricably woven into and affect individual and population health. The health care system is undergoing a relatively rapid transformation, which has included in part an increasing recognition of SDH's effects. This recognition, in turn, has led to renewed calls for changing the way that physicians are trained and has accelerated medical education curricular reforms. This Perspective focuses on one such innovative method of team-based care and the opportunities for its integration into medical education: medical-legal partnership, a health care delivery model that embeds civil legal services into the spectrum of health care services provided to low-income or otherwise vulnerable patients and communities.

“…Since adults with severe disabilities are at higher risk of developing chronic health conditions at earlier ages and are more likely to experience preventable chronic health conditions, including dementia and osteoporosis, than other adults (Haveman et al, 2009), supports within the Healthy Living domain are critically important. Health risks for vulnerable older adults with and without disabilities include falling, caregiving issues, and poverty-related health limitations (Tyler, 2019). Haley and Perkins (2004) note the risks of age-related health and behavioral declines for both the caregiver and the person with severe disabilities.…”

Individuals with severe disabilities and their families can engage in person-centered and family-centered planning for aging using a life course view. Viewing aging within the context of the family and disability is essential because many people with severe disabilities depend on their families for supports in daily living, social relationships, and for activities within communities. Since eligibility-based supports are often limited, parents and other family members play large roles both financially and socially in helping their family member move through the life course into active and healthy aging. Charting the LifeCourse is a framework that both people with disabilities and their families can use to achieve desired life outcomes over time. Issues that impact active and healthy aging for people with disabilities include the aging of caregivers, death of a caregiver, limited resources for supporting physical and health concerns, staying active in the community following retirement, and maintaining social emotional connections.

Objective To provide a topical review of the literature on the use of medical-legal partnerships (MLPs) to address social determinants of health (SDH) needs as a means to reduce health disparities, and to make recommendations for the implementation of MLPs within pediatric psychologists’ clinical work, research, and training. Methods We conducted a topical review of the research on the intersection of MLPs, SDH needs, and health disparities among pediatric populations. Given the scarcity of literature available, both empirical and theoretical articles were included in the review. Results Though limited, the extant literature suggests that use of MLPs may help address the SDH needs that perpetuate disparities among pediatric populations. To date, MLPs are not as frequently incorporated in the training and work of pediatric psychologists as they may be in other related fields (e.g., medicine). Conclusions MLPs provide an opportunity for psychologists to broaden their interdisciplinary collaborations, to more aptly meet the social and legal needs of their patients to assist in reducing inequities among underserved pediatric populations. The systematic incorporation of MLPs into pediatric psychology training may help to increase the utilization of these services moving forward.
