Pediatric healthcare providers can play a pivotal role in addressing SDOH by:
1. Screening for social determinants during medical visits to identify families in need. 2. Referring families to community resources and support services. 3. Advocating for policies that address social determinants and promote health equity. 4. Educating families about the importance of healthy behaviors and environments.
By taking these steps, healthcare providers can help mitigate the negative effects of social determinants and promote better health outcomes for children.
