Nora Henrikson presents on social risk screening tools
KPWHRI Assistant Investigator Nora Henrikson, PhD, MPH, presented “Examining the Validity of Clinical Social Risk Screening Tools” to the Social Intervention Research & Evaluation Network (SIREN) on July 18, 2019. One of two invited webinar speakers, Dr. Henrikson shared findings from a systematic review that assessed evidence on the validity of 21 different social-risk screening tools.
SIREN was launched in 2016 with an aim of catalyzing and disseminating research that advances efforts to identify and address social risks in health care settings. Participants include health and social services researchers as well as practitioners and leaders representing health care delivery systems, insurers, community-based organizations, and foundations. The network is based in the Center for Health and Community at the University of California, San Francisco and is supported by Kaiser Permanente and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
This webinar was funded by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute. A recording and slides are available.
