Exploring the need for a social prescribing pathway in an Australian paediatric allied healthcare intake service
Background The social determinants of health (SDH) drive child health inequities. Adverse SDH are experienced at an individual level as unmet social needs. In a paediatric Allied Healthcare system, these unmet social needs are barriers to service access. Evidence Social prescribing offers a promising solution. However, this practice is not routinely implemented in Australia. Objective To determine whether the Routine Identification of Unmet Socia…
The Barriers and Enablers to Implementing Child and Family Health Hubs for Migrant Families
Migrant women and children can face significant barriers when accessing child and family health services. Child and family health hubs (hubs) represent a potential solution to simplify pathways between maternity, child, and social care services for migrant populations. However, how these hubs operate specifically for migrants remains underexplored. Our study addresses this gap by exploring what helps and hinders the establishment and delivery of …
The Building Blocks for Successful Hub Implementation for Migrant and Refugee Families and Their Children in the First 2000 Days of Life
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Migrant and refugee women, families, and their children can experience significant language, cultural, and psychosocial barriers to engage with child and family services. Integrated child and family health Hubs are increasingly promoted as a potential solution to address access barriers; however, there is scant literature on how to best implement them with migrant and refugee populations. Our aim was to explore with serv…
Swimming for Children with Disability
Rehabilitation and swimming professionals should review existing programs to ensure they meet the needs of children with disability. Further research is needed to create an action plan to improve swimming participation for Australian children with disability
Epic-CP pilot trial
In children with cerebral palsy (CP), there is evidence that social determinants of health contribute to poorer health outcomes and are barriers to families accessing health services. In the general paediatric population, there is emerging evidence that clinical pathways for the systematised identification and referral of unmet social can support families to address their social needs. The objectives of this Australian pilot are to investigate th…
Systematic Identification of Unmet Needs and Referral to Physician Help at an Australian Hospital
Systematic integration of unmet social needs screening and referral into routine clinical care can help improve clinicians’ understanding of patient’s social determinants of health (SDH) and address health disparities. This is critical to ensure optimal care of children with chronic and complex health conditions. This quality improvement project was piloted at the Children’s Hospital at Westmead to standardise screening of SDH concerns using a mo…
A qualitative study investigating the experiences of unmet social needs for children with cerebral palsy and their families
There is a social gradient between the unmet needs of an individual with cerebral palsy (CP) and their health and wellbeing outcomes. To date, research has not explored the experience of unmet social needs for children with cerebral palsy and their families and how they may impact their lives. Our study sought to address this knowledge gap through qualitative research methods. Our aim was to understand the experiences of unmet social needs for fa…
An orientation model for implementing and sustaining integrated health and social care hubs for early childhood development
Evidence is emerging on the efficacy of Integrated Health and Social Care (IHSC) hubs to improve the early detection and intervention of developmental vulnerability in children from culturally and linguistically diverse and/or socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds. IHSC hub models typically involve co-located child and family health services and non-government organisations, which deliver a range of psychosocial services, for example playgr…
