Background: Clinical rehabilitation providers and trainees need social determinants of health competency to support health equity and improve the quality of care for all patients. Methods: A total of 199 clinical rehabilitation providers and trainees in the Midwest United States completed the Addressing Client Needs with the social determinants of health (SDOH) scale (ACN:SDH; Johnson, 2023), which assesses social determinants of health competence, as well as professional and personal demographic questions. Results: Students reported higher SDOH competency and higher positive attitudes related to addressing SDOH. In addition, clinical staff and students who reported higher SDOH competence were also more likely to assess patient SDOH, consider SDOH when developing a plan of care, and address SDOH directly with patients versus those who reported less SDOH competence. Conclusion: SDOH competence is directly related to patient care and an important competency for staff and students to gain through curriculum and continuing education opportunities.
