The role of value-based payment in promoting innovation to address social risks: a cross-sectional study of social risk screening by US physicians.
The authors studied the conditions under which value-based payment will encourage health care providers to innovate to address upstream social risks. Their results indicated that implementation of social risk screening was not associated with overall exposure to value-based payment for physician practices. They recommended expanding social risk screening in order to reduce the level of innovative capacity required.

Social risks among primary care patients in a large urban health system.
The objective of this study was to understand the variability in the number and types of social risks overall and in population subgroups among primary care patients routinely screened in a large urban health system. Participants across nineteen ambulatory sites in the Bronx, New York, completed a 10-item screener. Findings showed that there were important differences in the prevalence of overall and individual social risks by subgroup. These findings should be considered to inform clinical care and social risk screening and interventions.
