The WE CARE Model

WE CARE is a social determinants of health (SDoH) screening and referral intervention. SDoH are the social circumstances in which people are born, work, live, and age, that affect disparities in risk and in health outcomes through a myriad of physiological and behavioral pathways.

WE CARE is a relatively simple intervention that has two key components (and an optional third):

1. The WE CARE Survey
2. Community Resource Information Sheets
3. (Optional) Additional support staff, such as patient navigators, case managers, or social workers
