Cure8 research brief
Why This Matters
Missed clinic visits can interrupt care and monitoring for kids with IBD. Identifying social needs linked to missed appointments points to concrete areas (housing, food, transportation, utilities, and healthcare cost) where support could help families keep appointments and stay engaged in care.
Who Should Pay Attention
Pediatric IBD patients and caregivers; pediatric gastroenterology clinicians and infusion-center staff; care coordinators and social work teams; researchers studying social determinants of health in IBD.

What To Know
The study highlights that nonmedical social needs—housing, food, utilities, transportation, and healthcare cost concerns—were linked to more missed clinic visits among pediatric IBD patients at this center. The authors suggest developing targeted, personalized interventions to address those specific needs to help reduce missed appointments.
Keep In Mind
Findings come from an abstract of a single ambulatory/inpatient program screening program (Dec 2021–Dec 2024). Results show association but not causality; full text should be consulted for methods, definitions of HRSNs, and generalizability.
