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.

Police-recorded crime and disparities in obesity and blood pressure status in Chicago.
The purpose of this study was to examine associations between several types of police-recorded crime (violent, nonviolent, and homicide) and cardiometabolic health (obesity and elevated blood pressure [BP]), and to determine if associations were modified by age and sex. It concluded that in a densely populated, high-poverty region in Chicago, recurrent exposure to high rates of violent crime was consistently associated with obesity and elevated BP, but rare exposure to homicide was not.
