About this question
A community resource referral for food insecurity is an example of what? Social determinants of health (SDOH) coordination is increasingly tested and searched because clinics connect medical plans to housing, food, and transportation barriers. Read the wording and clinical context closely; those details determine the NHA CCMA competency being tested.
This question asks what that referral exemplifies. It addresses social determinants that affect health outcomes, not a specialty medical procedure referral.
