- Abstract
Social determinants of health are crucial drivers of health outcomes and inequities in the United States and account for approximately 80% of health outcomes, compared with only 20% for health care.1 Family physicians are increasingly asked to assess social needs and connect patients with appropriate resources. One commonly used resource referral platform is Aunt Bertha/findhelp, which was adopted by the American Academy of Family Physicians and branded as the Neighborhood Navigator tool in 2018. We analyzed more than 168,000 searches between November 2018 and April 2022 to identify patterns that may inform the direction of policy, funding, education, and resource allocation.
