Racial, Ethnic, and Sex Differences in Need and Receipt of Support for Social Needs Among Veterans
This study found that there was wide variation in the health-related social need domains in which VHA race, ethnicity, and sex subpopulations reported needing support. Applying an intersectional lens when evaluating social needs lays the groundwork for equity-guided social care interventions in the VHA.
