A brief guide to screening tools for social determinants of health and their validationThe importance of social context in contributing to overall health is well-established. Social determinants of health (SDoH) are social and environmental factors such as employment, housing security, financial stability, social isolation, and personal safety, which contribute up to 60% of overall health.In recent years, there has been a paradigm shift in how healthcare systems view health and wellbeing. There is a growing call to intervene in adverse SDoH from within the healthcare system. One such intervention involves screening patients for unmet needs, such as housing or food insecurity, and providing appropriate connections to organizations in the community to assist with their needs.The screening tools implemented in this context are multiple and diverse. Some target only one or two factors while others assess multiple SDoH. However, little is reported about the development of these tools. If a screening tool is not thoroughly developed and validated, it is impossible to know whether the data collected with the tool are appropriate or relevant. This study details the development and validation of a screening tool for unmet social needs by community members and healthcare providers at a major metropolitan hospital in South Australia.
