RESUMO

Equitable social determinants of health (SDOH) screening has been recommended by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and the Joint Commission; however, little is known about Spanish-speaking caregiver preferences on how they would like to be screened. We conducted a cross-sectional study at 3 pediatric clinics (October-December 2019). Caregivers completed (in English or Spanish) an SDOH screening preferences survey. Three hundred eighty-two of 443 caregivers approached (response rate = 86.2%) completed the survey. Most were female, preferred Spanish, and completed only high school. Spanish-speaking caregivers had greater odds of preferring verbal SDOH screening (odds ratio: 4.1; 95% confidence interval, 1.8-9.2) than English-speaking caregivers. Verbal SDOH screening should be a consideration in families who speak Spanish. Future studies should utilize qualitative methods to further explore Spanish-speaking caregiver preferences for SDOH screening.

RESUMO

CONTEXT: Tuberculosis (TB) disease causes significant morbidity, mortality, and public health impacts. Prevention of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) in children reduces the burden of disease. PROGRAM: The Texas Children's Mobile Clinic Program's (TC-MCP's) mission is to provide high-quality health care to underresourced children within the community setting. The TC-MCP serves a large foreign-born pediatric population. The need for an LTBI treatment program arose when caring for this high-risk population. IMPLEMENTATION: The TC-MCP providers collaborated with nationally recognized pediatric TB experts as well as local health departments that provide medications free of cost. The TC-MCP placed tuberculin skin tests (TSTs) on patients with risk factors for TB. TST-positive patients had an interferon-γ release assay (IGRA) performed. IGRA-positive patients had a chest radiograph (CXR) obtained. Children with positive IGRA and normal CXR were included in the LTBI program, which consisted of TC-MCP outpatient visits and 12 once-weekly doses of isoniazid/rifapentine (3HP) provided by local health departments. RESULTS: From January 2018 to March 2020, 785 TC-MCP patients received TSTs, of which 38 (4.8%) were positive. An additional 7 positive TSTs were identified from outside facilities. In addition to the 45 positive TSTs, 4 TC-MCP patients with follow-up difficulties had IGRAs done as the initial test. Of these 49 IGRAs done, 13 patients had a positive IGRA. An additional 6 patients with positive IGRAs from outside facilities were identified. Nineteen patients (36.5%) were diagnosed with LTBI; of whom, 18 completed 3HP therapy through the TC-MCP. Eighty-three percent (15/18) completed at least 2 in-person visits. DISCUSSION: Underresourced children at higher risk for TB benefit from a mobile clinic's unique reach. By utilizing community partnerships, mobile clinics can successfully fill gaps in the health care system where marginalized populations may be missed.
