The screening program evaluates 12 domains of social needs: material need, employment, medical-legal assistance, health insurance, public benefits, health literacy, transportation, medical care, utilities, housing quality, food security, and housing insecurity. We have\u00a0identified patients to have limited English proficiency if they have\u00a0selected a language other than English as their primary language.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The study population includes 92,958 individuals; of these, 83,445 (89.8%) patients are English proficient, and 9513 (10.2%) patients have limited English proficiency. A higher percentage of patients with limited English proficiency has social needs, including material need, employment, medical-legal assistance, health insurance, public benefit, health literacy, medical care, utility bill, poor housing quality, and food insecurity (all p-values\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). In multivariable logistic regression models adjusting for sociodemographic information, LEP status (odds ratio\u2009=\u20091.36 [1.25\u20131.49])\u00a0has been\u00a0associated with having social needs. These findings suggest that system-wide SDH screening and referral programs should identify ways to ensure capturing social needs among patients with limited English proficiency.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s13104-021-05720-7","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,5]],"date-time":"2021-08-05T08:04:07Z","timestamp":1628150647000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":55,"title":["Examination of social determinants of health among patients with limited English proficiency"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Austin","family":"Fischer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joseph","family":"Conigliaro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shaun","family":"Allicock","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4087-5261","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eun Ji","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,5]]},"reference":[{"issue":"8","key":"5720_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1416","DOI":"10.1377\/hlthaff.2015.1357","volume":"35","author":"RL Thornton","year":"2016","unstructured":"Thornton RL, Glover CM, Cene CW, Glik DC, Henderson JA, Williams DR.
