Exploring the Link Between Social Needs Screening, Health Equity, and Implementation Science.


Join Dr. Connor Drake and Dr. Cory Bradley in a thought-provoking episode where they discuss the research on "Implementation of social needs screening in primary care: a qualitative study using the health equity implementation framework." The conversation delves into how awareness of social care needs assessed in screening can be integrated into care practices to improve implementation of tools and interventions. Gain insights into the overall research program and how it intersects with implementation science and health equity.
