Athletic Trainers' Observations of Social Determinants of Health in the Collegiate Setting: A Card Study

CONCLUSIONS: Because ATs are positioned to accurately assess SDH, they can promote better patient-centered care and improve patient outcomes. Our results suggested many SDH observed by ATs in the college/university setting had a negative influence on patient health. Better support for patients with behavioral health issues and academic stressors is important because these SDH were commonly perceived to negatively influence health and well-being.PMID:37734734 | DOI:10.4085/1062-6050-0327.23
