Summary

This pilot study at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital tests whether it's practical and acceptable to screen families of hospitalized children for unmet social needs like food or housing insecurity, and then connect them with resources. Researchers will develop a screening protocol with hospital staff and compare outcomes between children hospitalized before and after the program starts. The study involves 50 caregivers of children aged 0-17 and focuses on feasibility, not on proving health improvements.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
social needs screening and resource referral protocol
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that screening for social needs like food or housing insecurity during a child's hospital stay is practical and helpful, paving the way for larger studies.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to other hospitals. It focuses on feasibility, not on proving health benefits.
