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.

Prevalence of screening for food insecurity, housing instability, utility needs, transportation needs, and interpersonal violence by US physician practices and hospitals.
The purpose of this study was to characterize screening for social needs by physician practices and hospitals. The authors indicated that their study's findings suggest: that few US physician practices and hospitals screen patients for all 5 key social needs associated with health outcomes; that practices that serve disadvantaged patients reported higher screening rates.

Mental health symptoms and patient-reported diabetes symptom burden: implications for medication regimen changes.
The aim of this paper was to examine the relative contribution of glycaemic control (HbA1C) and depressive symptoms on diabetes-related symptom burden (hypoglycaemia and hyperglycaemia) in order to guide medication modification. The authors found that mental health symptoms are associated with higher levels of patient-reported diabetes-related symptoms, but the association between diabetes-related symptoms and subsequent regimen modifications is diminished in patients with greater depressive symptoms.
