This two-arm, parallel group, randomized trial was conducted from January 19, 2021, to December 17, 2021, in a public hospital pediatric ward serving a disadvantaged area of an Australian capital city. Carers of children aged\u2009\u2264\u20095\u00a0years admitted to the Children\u2019s Ward were eligible. The primary outcome was disclosure of social risks. The screener included nine items on food security, household utilities, transport, employment, personal and neighborhood safety, social support, housing and homelessness. Disclosure of social risks was similar between the self-completion (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009193) and assisted-completion (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009193) groups for all 9 items, ranging 4.1% higher for worrying about money for food (95% CI\u2009\u2212\u200911.4, 3.1%) among the assisted-completion group, to 5.7% (\u22121.6, 13.0%) higher for unemployment among the self-completion group. In qualitative interviews, participants were positive about screening for social risks in the hospital ward setting and the majority indicated a preference for self-completion.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\u00a0 <jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>: Differences in the disclosure of social risks according to self- versus assisted-completion were small, suggesting that either method could be used. Most carers expressed a preference for self- completion, which is therefore recommended as the ideal mode for such data collection for Australian pediatric inpatient settings.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\u00a0 <jats:italic>Trial registration<\/jats:italic>: Australia New Zealand Clinical Trial Registry (<jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" ext-link-type=\"uri\" xlink:href=\"http:\/\/www.anzctry.org.au\">www.anzctry.org.au<\/jats:ext-link>; #ACTRN12620001326987; date of registration 8 December 2020).\n<jats:table-wrap><jats:table><jats:tbody>\n                    <jats:tr>\n                      <jats:td colspan=\"2\"><jats:bold>What is Known:<\/jats:bold><jats:italic>\u2022 Most evidence on screening of social risks in pediatric inpatient settings is from the USA.<\/jats:italic><jats:italic>\u2022 Little is known about disclosure of social risks in countries with universal health care and social welfare.<\/jats:italic><\/jats:td>\n                    <\/jats:tr>\n                    <jats:tr>\n                      <jats:td colspan=\"2\"><jats:bold>What is New:<\/jats:bold><jats:italic>\u2022 Disclosure of social risks was similar for electronic compared with face-to-face screening.<\/jats:italic><jats:italic>\u2022 Carers preferred electronic completion over face-to-face completion.<\/jats:italic><\/jats:td>\n                    <\/jats:tr>\n                  <\/jats:tbody><\/jats:table><\/jats:table-wrap><\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00431-024-05470-1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,1]],"date-time":"2024-03-01T06:02:31Z","timestamp":1709272951000},"page":"2301-2309","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["In-person versus electronic screening for social risks among carers of pediatric inpatients: A mixed methods randomized trial"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"183","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6585-7836","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lisa Gaye","family":"Smithers","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0614-0157","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Catherine","family":"MacPhail","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lily","family":"Chan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maeve","family":"Downes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kate","family":"Neadley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6848-3307","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mark","family":"Boyd","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"5470_CR1","volume-title":"Closing the gap in a generation: health equity through action on the social determinants of health","author":"Commission on Social Determinants of Health, World Health Organization","year":"2008","unstructured":"Commission on Social Determinants of Health, World Health Organization (2008) Closing the gap in a generation: health equity through action on the social determinants of health.
