【 摘 要 】

Background: There are several researches showing that “social determinants of health” are associated with the clinical outcome of the patients.  Four out of 5 American primary care physicians do believe that addressing social needs of their patients are as important as addressing medical conditions of their patients. Unfortunately there are few researches on the feasibility of addressing social needs of the patients by physicians and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs).
