“…Furthermore, the intricate interplay between these social dynamics and adolescents' self-rated health gains particular importance in the context of Chinese sociocultural dynamics (Alwah et al, 2023). Chinese adolescents likely experience a complex interplay of social factors that contribute to their self-rated health in the context of their unique sociocultural environment (Kim et al, 2023;Wang, Lu, et al, 2023;Xu et al, 2023). Research suggests that social capital and the nature and strength of social ties forged during adolescence may form the basis for long-term health outcomes (Edyburn et al, 2021;Gore, 2023;Taibi et al, 2023).…”

Background This study examines the relationship between self-rated health and social capital among Chinese adolescents and aims to understand the influence of family, neighborhood, and school connections on adolescents' perceived health. Methods This cross-sectional study involved 501 secondary school students (217 males, 284 females, 15–19 years old). Self-perceived health was rated on a five-point scale divided into 'good health' and 'bad health'. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to assess the association between good self-rated health and social capital in family, neighborhood and school. Gender, self-perceived socioeconomic status, psychological distress and body mass index were considered in the analysis using multivariate logistic regression. Results The results indicate a robust correlation between good self-rated health and increased family social capital (OR 2.99; 95% CI: 1.78 to 5.00), increased neighborhood trust (OR 2.42; 95% CI: 1.56 to 3.76), and increased informal social control (OR 1.74; 95% CI: 1.07 to 2.83). Conversely, no statistically significant correlation was found between good self-rated health and school social capital. Conclusions These findings underscore the central role of family and neighborhood social capital in shaping the self-rated health of Chinese adolescents. The study highlights the need for a more comprehensive understanding of the specific influences of family and community connections on adolescents' well-being and thus contributes to the broader discourse on adolescent health in Chinese culture.

Purpose of review To contextualize how pediatrics led the field in developing and implementing tools to screen for social determinants of health in clinical care as well as in creating innovative interventions to mitigate them, and to summarize where the evidence points as the next frontier. Recent findings The evidence showed that health-related social needs (HRSN), like food insecurity, energy insecurity, and housing instability, continue to drive poor health outcomes across the lifespan; patients and healthcare providers are open to discussing HRSN in clinical settings, though some providers feel ill-equipped to do so; to mitigate HRSN, healthcare plays a unique role in ensuring patients’ HRSN are understood, referring to effective resources through building strong, lasting relationships with community partners, embedding services in the healthcare setting across all departments, and empowering patient families to participate in programs and services; and administrative burden hinders families from getting all the benefits to which they are entitled, which streamlined co-enrollment processes can address. Summary Pediatric providers can add a unique and credible voice to seeking changes to the safety-net, including co-enrollment, that could reduce administrative burden, address patients’ HRSN, and improve health starting in the prenatal period through later adulthood.
