Unmet Social Needs and Pediatric Asthma Severity in an Urban Primary Care Setting.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Community-level social determinants of health impact asthma outcomes among children; however, individual patient's priorities are not often included in designing social care interventions. Identifying connections between patient-prioritized unmet social needs and asthma severity status may allow for improved patient-centered approaches to asthma management.

We hypothesized that those with a greater number of unmet social needs would report a more severe asthma status.

Methods

We conducted a secondary analysis of 4887 patients screened for unmet social needs and asthma severity status. Bivariate associations and adjusted logistic regressio
