Social Navigator to Address Social Determinants of Health in Pediatrics
Type 1 DiabetesIt is crucial to understand the social and economic context in which children and youth live; their social determinants of health (SDH). Although this is well recognized, many health care providers do not address SDH because of the lack of easily accessible resources once social needs are identified.
Social workers (SW) have the ability to support families once a social need has been identified. However, not every clinic has a SW, and even those that do often struggle to meet the needs of all the families requiring support.
The use of social navigators (SN) is an innovative solution for an unmet need. SN models have been successful in primary care settings, but, to date, have not been adapted to address the SDH needs of children and their families receiving care in pediatric specialty care settings. We will implement the first of its kind pediatric SN clinic at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO): "Navigating Social Resources for Children's Health" (NSRCH). Our study will evaluate NSRCH - an innovative, transferable, and low-cost pediatric-specific SN model. Our goal is to support families with SDH needs to access timely, appropriate supports and resources via NSRCH.
