A caregiver health assessment built for clinical adoption.
GC-SDOH-30 is a caregiver-specific social determinants instrument designed to surface the pressures that standard patient screens usually miss.
Caregivers experience social determinants differently from patients because they are carrying someone else’s care while their own wellbeing is under strain.
GC-SDOH-30 measures that difference directly: social isolation driven by role burden, exhaustion from care tasks, legal and navigation friction, and the financial drag of long-term support.
The instrument is adaptive, so deeper questioning happens only where the screener suggests meaningful pressure.

Why caregivers need their own SDOH instrument
Role burden
Caregivers manage someone else’s health while their own deteriorates — a dynamic patient-focused tools rarely capture.
Social isolation
Caregiving shrinks networks through time pressure and burnout, not just mobility or transportation limits.
Financial depletion
Out-of-pocket costs and reduced work create a profile distinct from standard patient hardship screens.
Legal navigation
Insurance, benefits, and proxy decision-making add an administrative burden of their own.
GC-SDOH-30 maps directly to GiveCare’s six zones, enabling ongoing monitoring and more targeted follow-up instead of a one-time screen.
