Physician Engagement in Addressing Health-Related Social Needs and Burnout
In this cross-sectional study of 5447 nationally representative physicians in the US, 34.3% regularly dedicated time to addressing HRSNs. The study identified variability in physicians' engagement in addressing HRSNs and found that higher engagement was associated with a greater likelihood of burnout. The findings suggest the need for thorough assessment of the potential unintended consequences of physicians' engagement in addressing HRSNs on their well-being.
