Social vulnerability occurs when the disadvantage conveyed by poor social conditions determines the degree to which one's life and livelihood are at risk from a particular and identifiable event in he...
A scoping review was conducted in six electronic databases to identify original research, published in English, French, Dutch, Spanish or Portuguese, and which addressed the development or use of a so...
In total, 292 studies were included, of which 126 studies came from environmental, climate change or disaster planning fields of study and 156 studies were from the fields of health or medicine. The m...
We provide an overview of SVIs in the literature up to December 2021, providing a novel summary of commonly used variables for social vulnerability indices. We also demonstrate that SVIs are commonly ...
Lung cancer is a major cause of death in the United States. Social determinants of health (SDOH) are important factors that impact the treatment and prognosis of lung cancer. The social vulnerability ...
Mortality data for lung malignancies from 2014 to 2018 was obtained from the CDC database and was age-adjusted and standardized to the population in the year 2000. The SVI for the same years was obtai...
We found that counties in SVI-Q4 (most vulnerable) had a higher cumulative AAMR compared to counties in SVI-Q1 (least vulnerable), accounting for a 4.48 excess death rate per 100,000 person-years. AAM...
Our study suggests that the SVI may play a significant role in lung cancer mortality and highlights the need for interventions targeting vulnerable populations to improve outcomes....
Understanding the relationship between social vulnerability and traffic crashes is a cornerstone for promoting social justice in transportation planning and policymaking. However, few studies have exa...
Many health care systems are investing resources in identifying social determinants of health (SDoH) needs and facilitating interventions among the populations they serve. Because self-reported SDoH i...
To describe the large-scale deployment of SDoH assessments by a health system and determine the extent to which self-reported SDoH needs identified therein are associated with census tract-level socia...
This cross-sectional study assessed SDoH needs between January 1, 2020, and April 30, 2023, in both payer and clinical care settings. Modalities included telephonic outreach, face-to-face clinical int...
Overall and domain-specific SDoH needs self-reported through assessments, and severity and complexity of needs identified. Residential social vulnerability measures included overall SVI and the 4 conc...
In total, 841 874 assessments were recorded for 401 697 individuals (55.1% women; median [IQR] age, 55 [41-70] years). Social determinants of health needs were identified in 120 769 assessments (14.3%...
In this cross-sectional study, the overall level of SDoH needs generally corresponded to area-level vulnerability. Some SDoH domains appeared far more sensitive to community characteristics than other...
Different analyses show that the design of vaccination policies should especially protect the most vulnerable social groups, since the level of acceptance is determined by the population's knowledge, ...
Social influence can shape early childhood at different levels. We explored the association between social vulnerability and lifetime caregiver alcohol use with children's psychiatric symptoms. Multiv...
Post-operative complications present a challenge to the healthcare system due to the high unpredictability of their incidence. Socioeconomic conditions have been established as social determinants of ...
In this study, we conducted a large population cross-sectional analysis of social vulnerability and the odds of various post-surgical complications. We collected electronic health records data from ov...
Our sample from the St. Louis area exhibited high variance in social vulnerability with notable rapid increase in vulnerability from the south west to the north of the Mississippi river indicating hig...
Our results indicate that social vulnerability measures such as socioeconomic status and housing conditions could affect postsurgical outcomes through preoperative health. This suggests that the domai...
Researchers have developed numerous indices to identify vulnerable sub-populations. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) is the most common and highly ...
An inventory analysis of the historical census data (1960-2018) was used to develop a Modified SVI that allows for historic analyses. To consider the chronic effect of social vulnerabilities, a longit...
This Modified SVI was used to generate historical maps, find temporal patterns, and inform a longitudinal SVI measure. The results showed a good agreement among the developed indices and the CDC-SVI. ...
The Modified SVI overcomes temporal limitations associated with the CDC-SVI, and the longitudinal SVI captures a community's multidimensional experiences that exacerbate a community's vulnerability to...
Social determinants of health (SDOH) influence health outcomes, including those of sickle cell disease (SCD), despite advancements in treatments like disease-modifying therapies....
To investigate the association of SDOH with SCD mortality rates from 2016 to 2020....
This cross-sectional study combined county-level data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) with SCD...
SVI score....
Age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMRs) per 1 000 000 individuals were measured. Rate ratios (RRs) were obtained by comparing county-specific AAMRs of SVI-Q4 with SVI-Q1....
From 2016 to 2020, among a total population of 1 633 737 771 individuals, there were 2635 deaths from SCD (1289 male [49.1%] and 1336 female [50.9%]). There were 1480 deaths in Q4, 687 deaths in Q3, 3...
In this cross-sectional study of the association of SVI with SCD mortality rates, higher SVI was associated with higher SCD mortality across US counties. These findings underscore the importance of ad...
Ageism can be expressed as the discrimination, social exclusion, and even abuse of older adults. The literature suggests that certain vulnerabilities could be risk factors affecting people's ageism. B...
