Equity-Related Screening Tools
There are several screening tools available to assist with collection of social drivers of health (SDOH) and/or social risk factor information. For example,*
- Accountable Health Communities Health-Related Social Needs Screening Tool
- American Academy of Family Physicians Social Needs Screening Tool
- HealthBegins
- Protocol for Responding to and Assessing Patients' Assets, Risks, and Experiences (PRAPARE)
- Virginia Commonwealth University Health System: Social Needs Assessment
As more screening tools and standards become available for collecting SDOH/social risk factor data, the feasibility of including those data in quality measures increases. Measure developers should look for sources of SDOH information and include in quality measure specifications to assist with measuring equity.
