Abstract:
Underserved populations are at risk for chronic health conditions due to social determinants. There is a gap in instrument availability in identifying individuals at risk of, or experiencing, cumulative social, environmental, economic, and cultural factors impacting health. The Social Determinants of Health Assessment Tool is a brief, cost-effective semistructured interview allowing healthcare professionals to engage in appropriate service prioritization. Phase I of this instrument development reported adequate face validity by Delphi panel consensus with experts in social work, nursing, public health, and psychology. This instrument identifies individuals at risk of social determinants to improve healthcare and social service delivery.
