Incorporation of social risk in US Preventive Services Task Force Recommendations and identification of key challenges for primary care.
The authors assessed how social risks have been considered in USPSTF recommendation statements and identified current gaps in evidence needed to expand the systematic inclusion of social risks in future recommendations. They concluded that their report serves as a benchmark and foundation for ongoing work to advance the goal of ensuring that health equity and social risks are incorporated into USPSTF methods and recommendations.

Developing primary care-based recommendations for social determinants of health: methods of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.
This article highlights social determinants already included in USPSTF recommendations and proposes a process by which others may be considered for primary care preventive recommendations. By reviewing the evidence on the effects of screening and interventions on social determinants relevant to primary care, the USPSTF will continue to be able to provide recommendations on clinical preventive services to improve the health of all Americans.

Social determinants as a preventive service: U.S. Preventive Services Task Force methods considerations for research.
The authors offer a brief review of the social determinants of health that may be germane to the USPSTF, the methods the USPSTF uses to evaluate relevant evidence, and current evidence gaps for social risks. Their road map for research is intended to spark ingenuity and purpose in the next generation of research studies, thereby ensuring that future recommendations to address and prevent social risks in primary care are informed by high-quality evidence.

What evidence do we need before recommending routine screening for social determinants of health?
This editorial, co-written by two members of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), and a member of the 大象APP (AHRQ) discusses the need to determine if social determinants of health (SDOH) should be discussed during a primary care visit. At the present time only 2 USPSTF recommendations are social determinants (intimate partner violence, elder abuse, and abuse of vulnerable adults; and child maltreatment). However, there are recommendations for nine health behaviors and three mental health behaviors that are included in SDOH. There is an absence of evidence of benefit for routine screening for many of the social determinants, and the USPSTF is currently conducting an evaluation to understand the state of screening for SDOH.
