Social determinants of health (SDOH) are conditions in which individuals are born, live, work, learn, play, and age that affect health, risks, functioning, and outcomes. SDOH are recognized barriers to care, risk factors for certain diseases, and associated with poorer health outcomes. Screening for SDOH in physician practices and hospitals is reportedly low. The accessibility of pharmacists and established relationships with patients make pharmacy settings ideal for identifying and mitigating social needs. An evaluation of the impact of SDOH on health outcomes and opportunities for pharmacists to embed screening into practice is warranted.
健康的社会决定因素(SDOH)是指个人出生、生活、工作、学习、娱乐及衰老的环境,这些环境会影响健康、风险、功能及结果。SDOH被认为是医疗保健的障碍、某些疾病的风险因素,并与较差的健康结果相关。据报道,在医生诊所和医院中对SDOH进行筛查的比例较低。药剂师的可及性以及与患者建立的关系使药房环境成为识别和缓解社会需求的理想场所。有必要评估SDOH对健康结果的影响以及药剂师将筛查纳入实践的机会。
