Summary

This study tested a computer tool that helps doctors identify social needs—like trouble getting food or housing—in African American patients with chronic diseases such as diabetes or high blood pressure. The tool gave patients a risk score and suggested referrals to community organizations. Researchers wanted to see if using the tool led to more social needs being addressed over three months.
