Integrating social needs screening and community health workers in primary care: the community linkage to care program.
This study used logistic regression to identify factors associated with successful social service uptake in an urban pediatric practice. Out of 4948 households screened for social needs from December 2017 to November 2018, 20% self-reported at least one factor. Only 43% of the 287 households with unmet needs reported social service uptake. Greater than 4 outreach encounters were significantly associated with successful referrals. This study suggests the need for additional research and an opportunity for further program optimization.

Population-level obesity surveillance: monitoring childhood body mass index z-score in a safety-net system.
The objective of this study was to determine the utility of repeated patient-level body mass index (BMI) measurements among higher-risk patients seen at safety-net clinics as a community-level monitoring tool for overweight and obesity population trends. The researchers found that childhood obesity prevalence was high, with substantial progression to overweight and obesity from first to last visit and concluded that clinically derived BMI z-score per person-year measures can effectively show population trends not observed using standard weight status categories.
