Abstract
PROBLEM: Social and physical contexts which make up social determinants of health (SDOH) have tremendous impacts on youth development, health and well-being. Despite knowledge and evidence of these impacts, few pediatric SDOH screening tools are known. The purpose of this review was to identify and evaluate available pediatric SDOH screening tools. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: Articles were limited to studies in the English language, with pediatric populations, conducted in the United States, and were peer-reviewed, primary studies. SAMPLE: Search of 3 databases (PsychInfo, CINAHL and PubMed) yielded 499 articles, 486 were excluded. Total of 13 articles were appraised and synthesized using the SDOH framework outlined by Healthy People 2020. RESULTS: Thirteen articles relevant to the assessment of SDOH domains were evaluated. Majority of studies were limited in both the number of SDOH domains screened and the depth of screening. Tools were heterogeneous in methods used to assess SDOH risks and few were validated. Limited number of studies included youth or families in the initial development of tools. CONCLUSIONS: Despite growing recognition across healthcare that SDOH greatly influence pediatric health risks, management and outcomes, there is a dearth of available high quality, multidimensional, comprehensive screening tools for pediatric care professionals. IMPLICATIONS: This review emphasizes the need for the continued development of effective, comprehensive and practical tools for assessing pediatric SDOH risk factors. Pediatric nursing care includes the assessment of the youth and family context to effectively evaluate resource needs. Pediatric nurses are well poised to address this knowledge and resource gap.
