Perspectives on Health-Related Social Needs Screening in Primary Care Among Black and Latine Patients
In this qualitative study, Black and Latine patients described their perceptions of HRSN screening and referral systems, emphasizing compounding barriers across screening, referral, and resource receipt and underscoring how fears of negative consequences may limit disclosure of HRSNs. Together, these findings highlight how interpersonal and structural racism influence the likelihood of Black and Latine patients' needs being recognized or addressed. An intentional approach is necessary to enhance patient trust and to implement systematic, universal, patient-centered social care systems.
