Community Pharmacies as Social Determinant of Health Navigators

This study is looking at how community pharmacies can help people with their social needs. They will be using "Social needs screenings and referrals" where pharmacies give out surveys to find out what help people need, like with food or housing. Then, they will connect people to local groups that can provide that help. The study wants to see how well this program works over 12 months. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, speak English, and visit one of the participating pharmacies in Western New York. The current recruitment status is unclear.
