Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Social risk screening asks patients to provide information on health-related social needs that are non-medical but affect health. These include housing stability, food security, reliable medical transportation, consistent utilities service (heat, light, water), and interpersonal safety. This research will determine the acceptability of such screening in adult patients who attend a primary care clinic in-person or via a telemedicine visit, the level of social need in patients, and how to flag such information for care, planning, and follow up.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study will evaluate the acceptability of social risk screening among adult patients seen in the General Internal Medicine Offices (GIMO) at Montefiore Hospital. The research will enroll patients using the resident clinic, which provides medical care to lower-income patients as well as other patients. The study will be limited to new patients or patients receiving routine follow-up care.

Acceptability will be assessed by (i) the proportion of patients completing the screen among those approached; (ii) the proportion of screening questions completed; and (iii) the proportion of patients willing to complete the screening over the phone (a) by interviewer or (b) on via website using Qualtrics.

The representativeness of the sample will be assessed by comparing the participant sample to aggregate clinic demographic characteristics and deidentified Epic EHR indicators using an honest broker.

The survey instrument is the CMS Accountable Care Communities instrument. It includes patient indicators (demography) and appraisals of care (e.g., trust) that will allow assessment of correlates of social need and acceptability of screening in the clinical setting.
