Leveraging Medical Students' Experiences with Social Determinants of Health During Their Pediatric Clerkship to Drive Curriculum.
Article in Journal of medical education and curricular development. 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
Background: The relationship between social determinants of health (SDH) and negative health outcomes is well established, prompting undergraduate medical educators to teach students to recognize and address these SDH. However, current SDH resources like the Healthy People 2030 report and published curricula lack a targeted approach to best teach and learn pediatric-specific SDH. Objective: To use medical students' experiences working with patients affected by SDH on their pediatric clerkship as a targeted needs-assessment to drive pediatric-specific SDH curricula. Methods: Qualitative analysis of the reflective journal entries of 94 medical students who rotated on the pediatrics clerkship from 2022-2023. Each student completed an entry on their experiences with pediatric SDH including identification of the SDH, perceptions of the impact of the SDH, and observed SDH navigation strategies. A team of three coders employed both deductive and inductive content analysis to the dataset. SDH codes were tabulated for frequency analysis. Findings: Across the 94 entries, there were 205 reported SDH, with an average of 2.18 SDH per entry. Inductive content analysis resulted in six new pediatric-specific SDH in addition to those established by Healthy People 2030 report. Our analyses showed that students perceived SDH to impact pediatric patients and their families through five mechanisms; analyses of student entries also identified five strategies that the healthcare team used to facilitate SDH navigation. Finally, a frequency analysis showed that the three most common SDH clerkship students experienced were Language & literacy, Foster care / Department of Children and Families (DCF) system, and Insurance status. Conclusion: Utilizing the medical student experience with SDH on the pediatric service can serve as a meaningful needs-assessment to drive pediatric-specific SDH curricular development. We identified a unique set of pediatric-specific SDH that may improve medical schools' SDH curricula.
