The purpose of this study is to assess feasibility and acceptability of parent-completed screeners of child social/emotional development, social determinants of health, and adverse childhood experiences in the setting of a pediatrics primary care clinic.
Local pediatric primary care practices are beginning to implement universal screening. The investigators plan to assess feasibility and acceptability of screening by querying parents of children in order to determine their expectations, perceptions, and opinions about the screeners. The investigators will also use data from electronic health records to examine the impact of screeners on referrals and healthcare utilization. The investigators will be examining screening rates and outcomes, and correlations with demographics and changes over time.
