How hypertension guidelines address social determinants of health: a systematic scoping review.
Patient-level and community-level social and economic conditions impact hypertension risk and control. In this study, the investigators examined adult hypertension management guidelines to explore whether and how existing guidelines refer to social care activities. The investigators concluded that information about social determinants of health is included in many hypertension guidelines, but few guidelines provide clear guidance for clinicians or health systems on how to identify and address social risk factors in the context of care delivery.
