How to start screening for the non-medical drivers of health

The action pack, created by Dr. Amelie G. Ramirez at UT Health San Antonio, has a conversation-starting model email, fact sheet, checklist on how to develop screening, and a guide that reviews existing screening tools.

“Screening for the non-medical drivers of health can help clinicians better understand patients, connect patients to community support, and spotlight the root causes of health issues,” said Dr. Ramirez, director of the Salud America! Latino health communication program and the Institute for Health Promotion Research at UT Health San Antonio.
