Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) serve 29.8 million low-income patients across the U.S., many of whom have unaddressed social risks. In 2019, for the first time, data on social risk screening capabilities were collected from every U.S. FQHC. The objectives of this study were to describe national rates of social risk screening capabilities across FQHCs, identify organizational predictors of screening, and assess between-state heterogeneity. Using a 100% sample of U.S. FQHCs (N=1,384, representing 29.8 million patients) from the 2019 Uniform Data System, the primary outcome was whether an FQHC collected data on patients’ social risk factors (yes/no). Summary statistics on rates of social risk screening capabilities were generated in aggregate and by state. Linear probability models were then used to estimate the relationship between probability of social risk screening and 7 key FQHC characteristics (e.g., FQHC size, Medicaid MCO contract, Medicaid accountable care organization presence). Data were analyzed in 2020–2021. Most (71%) FQHCs collected social risk data, with between-state variation. The most common screener was the Protocol for Responding to and Assessing Patients’ Assets Risks and Experiences (43% of FQHCs that screened), whereas 22% collected social risk data using a non-standardized screener. After adjusting for other characteristics, FQHCs with social risk screening capabilities served more total patients, were more likely to be located in a state with a Medicaid accountable care organization, and were less likely to have an MCO contract. There has been widespread adoption of social risk screening tools across U.S. FQHCs, but between-state disparities exist. Targeting social risk screening resources to smaller FQHCs may increase adoption of screening tools.
