Building a Foundation to Reduce Health Inequities: Routine Collection of Sociodemographic Data in Primary Care
Conclusion:
Collecting data on social determinants of health through a self-administered survey, and linking them to a patient's chart, is feasible and acceptable. A modified survey is now administered to all patients. Such data are already being used to identify health inequities, develop novel interventions, and evaluate their impact on health outcomes.
