Abstrakt: Introduction: Adverse social conditions affect children's development and health outcomes from preconception throughout their life course. Early identification of adverse conditions is essential for early support of children and their families. Healthcare contacts with children provide a unique opportunity to screen for adverse social conditions and to take preventive action to identify and address emerging, potentially harmful or accumulating social problems. The aim of our study is to identify and describe available screening tools in outpatient and inpatient healthcare settings that capture social conditions that may affect children's development, health or well-being.
Methods and Analysis: We will conduct a systematic review and will report the results following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidance. A systematic search of three databases (PubMed (Ovid), PsycInfo (EBSCOhost) and Web of Science Core Collection (Clarivate)) for English-language and German-language articles from 2014 to date will be conducted. We will include peer-reviewed articles that develop, describe, test or use an instrument to screen children for multiple social conditions in paediatric clinics or other outpatient or inpatient child healthcare settings. Key study characteristics and information on screening tools will be extracted and presented in structured tables to summarise the available evidence. We will assess the methodological quality of the instruments with the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) checklist.
Ethics and Dissemination: Ethical approval is not required for this study as we will not be collecting any personal data. Dissemination will consist of publications, presentations, and other knowledge translation activities.
