School-Based Health Providers' Approaches to Social Risk Screening for Pediatric Asthma: A Qualitative Study.
Article in Pediatric pulmonology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAsthma has a high prevalence among children and is associated with negative outcomes and extreme costs. Asthma exacerbations, often preventable, have been associated with social determinants of health and social risk factors. It is unclear whether school-based health providers consider social information for asthma, possibly related to a lack of knowledge or data availability.
objectiveDescribe the information-gathering behaviors and approaches for social risk screening for patients with asthma exacerbations performed by school-based health center providers.
methodsWe conducted a qualitative descriptive study with a purposive sample of school-based health center medical providers. We conducted four focus group sessions (total participants = 16 nurse practitioners) and employed thematic analysis to generate themes.
resultsWe identified four major themes: (1) Information-gathering tactics, (2) diligence, (3) challenges accessing and assessing social determinants of health information, and (4) uncertainty. Major findings include: (1) There is a variety of information-gathering tactics used; (2) there are missed opportunities for social risk screenings in schools; (3) social risk screening is feasibly challenging; and (4) there is continued need for resources and increased awareness of screening.
conclusionThis study highlights the lived experiences of school-based health center providers in gathering information about social determinants of health and social risk factors. Challenges limit the ability to provide effective screening and referral to resources, particularly for school-age children with asthma. Our findings can be used for further research and development of informatics resources to promote effective social risk screening in school-based health centers.
