Abstract (type = abstract)
Social determinants of health directly impact the physical health, social and emotional development, and educational achievement of children. Health care needs of children affected by social determinants may not always be identified during routine health exams. Assessing health related quality of life may provide the information needed prior to designing interventions for specific populations. The PedsQL™ Generic parent proxy survey was administered, to 22 parents of children residing in transitional housing in Newark, New Jersey, to assess if common patterns, which could be considered risk factors impacting health of children 0-18 years of age, could be identified. A convenience sample of 22 parents completed the survey. The mean scores across all age groups were: Total: 67.68, Physical Health: 65.93, Psychosocial Health 69.43. This pilot project demonstrated that the information reported by parents via the PedsQL™ Generic parent proxy inventories implied that the HRQOL, of the sample, of children living in transition housing had mean scores at or below those of children with chronic and acute health conditions. The children in the transitional housing could all benefit from regular screenings and the implementation of activities to target the patterns identified.
