Social determinants of health and parenting self-efficacy among mothers of preterm infants.
The purpose of this prospective cohort study was to utilize a social determinants of health (SDoH) framework to examine the associations between social and environmental factors and parenting self-efficacy (PSE) in mothers of preterm infants hospitalized in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). The study found that the multiple linear regression model predicting the efficacy score including maternal race/ethnicity, age, insurance, employment status before giving birth, gestational age, depression, and having other children was significant. Significant predictors of PSE were race/ethnicity, having another child/children, and depression.

Approaches to addressing social determinants of health in the NICU: a mixed methods study.
The objective of this study was to examine current approaches to addressing social determinants of health (SDOH) in the NICU and perceived appropriateness of a standardized screening and referral process. The investigators performed a mixed methods study in two Massachusetts safety-net NICUs. They concluded that current NICU assessment of SDOH was limited and use of a standardized screening and referral process could be useful.
