Addressing Health-Related Social Needs in Hospitalized Children: An Implementation Assessment.
Article in Academic pediatrics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveHigh rates of unmet health-related social needs (HRSNs) have been reported among hospitalized children. Community health workers (CHWs) embedded within health systems can assist families with unmet HRSNs. This study evaluated an inpatient HRSNs screening, referral, and CHW resource navigation intervention in a hospital in Bronx County, New York.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective study of hospitalized families between December 2023 and November 2024. Patients were screened for HRSNs upon admission and referred to CHWs after self-reporting unmet HRSNs and confirming they wanted help. We evaluated the intervention using descriptive statistics and periodic reflections analysis following the reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, maintenance (RE-AIM) implementation framework.
resultsOf 5350 admitted patients, 3291 (61.6%) were screened for HRSNs with 986 (30.0%) screened patients reporting unmet HRSNs. Of the admitted patients, 670 (12.5%) were referred to CHWs and 491 (73.3% of those referred) accepted CHW navigation. Of the CHW navigated patients, 484 (98.6%) were either connected or equipped to connect to social services. Of patients connected to services, 183 (96.8%) self-reported that their HRSNs were improved or resolved. The estimated annual cost of the intervention was $180.63 (IQR $154.58-$180.63) per patient connected with CHWs. Periodic reflections analysis identified facilitators and barriers to adoption.
conclusionsMost hospitalized families were screened and those with unmet HRSNs were appropriately referred to CHWs. CHWs were successful in helping families connect to social services, leading to improved or resolved HRSNs. Future research should evaluate the impact of CHW support for unmet HRSNs on child health and health care utilization.
