Beschreibung
With this practical guide, those who care for children's physical and mental health will learn how to identify and address social drivers of health (SDOH), also sometimes referred to as social determinants of health. The expert contributors present evidence-based tools to screen for SDOH, as well as strategies on how to care for children and families affected by different social stressors. This book offers real-world guidance that is easily implemented in a variety of settings. Social Drivers of Health covers the needs most likely to be encountered in practice, including housing, food, and income insecurity, and discusses the impacts these issues have on the health and well-being of children and families. Also provided is a framework for establishing community partnerships, including identifying legal services and other community-based support for addressing different SDOH.
