Intersectional Analysis of Social Risk and Need Among a Large Representative Sample of Adults From an Integrated Health System in the U.S.
Article in AJPM focus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Social health is increasingly a focus of healthcare systems. Representative and intersectional analyses of individuals' social risks such as food, housing, transportation, and financial insecurity and their interest in receiving assistance from the healthcare system (social needs) can provide healthcare organizations with more nuanced estimates that can lead to more effective interventions. Methods: The authors conducted cross-sectional survey of a representative sample of 43,936 Kaiser Permanente members in December 2019-September 2020. Study inclusion was based on membership, age, address, and absence of dementia. Modified Poisson regression models estimated respondents' social risks and needs overall and within domain (food, housing, finances, or transportation) and by intersectional strata on the basis of a combination of age, income, gender, and race and ethnicity. Results: Of 10,274 participants who completed the survey, 52% reported any social risk, and 32% had any social need. Financial strain was the most prevalent risk (44%), followed by food insecurity (31%), housing instability (17%), and transportation (7%). These intersectional analyses generated 74 intersectional groups. Across the intersectional groups, higher-income (>$50,000 per year) or older-age (>60 years) adults consistently had lower risk and need. However, this pattern varied by race and ethnicity. In particular, older and lower-income, Pacific Islander, African-American/Black, and multiracial adults had the highest estimates of social risk and need. Conclusions: Higher risk and need among particular intersectional groups suggest the importance of tailored interventions for social needs. The high aggregate prevalence of social risks and needs suggests that system and policy changes must compliment universal and population-based social health screening and assistance interventions in healthcare organizations.
