January Research Round-Up
In this month’s Research Round-Up, we categorize articles using the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine’s “Five As Framework”, which defined roles that health care organizations can play in integrating social care. For more on what each of the five “As” means check out the Dec 2020 SIREN Coffee & Science podcast episode with Drs. Laura Gottlieb and Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo. As always, articles in the round-up (and more!) can be found in the SIREN Evidence and Resource Library.
