- Summary:
- "The goal of this guide is to teach primary care health professionals to identify and effectively address common health-impacting social needs of patients that may have legal solutions, needs that can be considered "health harming legal needs." The text will help health professionals identify situations that are high risk for becoming legal issues and how to access preventative services, how to connect with legal resources in the patient's community, and how to identify community- or system-level issues and participate in advocacy efforts to address these."-- Provided by publisher.
