Social Determinants of Health Discussed with Mothers During Personal Visits Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: This report describes the social determinants of health (SDOH) discussed during personal visits at the time leading up to and during the first 4 months of the pandemic from families across the United States. Methods: This is a secondary analysis from a cluster randomized trial that embeds Healthy Eating and Active Living Taught at Home within Parents as Teachers (PAT). PAT is a national organization serving families prenatal through kindergarten, delivered by parent educators. After parent educators complete visits with mothers in the trial, they complete brief surveys including the question "Did issues with any of these come up during the visit?" with yes/no options for "Transportation," "Housing," "Food insecurity," "Childcare," "Financial constraint," or "Other."
