A Mixed-Method Evaluation of the Impact of Social Risk Screening on Uptake of Social Assistance

"Investigators will use an adapted version of the evidence-based WE CARE screening tool, which assesses need in the 5 domains most frequently requested by our patient population: housing, transportation, child care, food security, and household heat and electricity. This tool was selected as it is evidence-based, takes fewer than 5 minutes to complete, is written at a 3rd grade reading level, and allows for differentiation between social risk and caregiver desire for assistance, as well as areas of emergency need."

All participants will receive access to an electronic, geographically searchable resource map hosted on Aunt Bertha

Participants randomized to this experimental arm will receive a social resource menu tool, which assess desire for social resources.
