“…It is uncertain why some of the individual subtypes of physical neglect had a stronger or weaker association with PEs. For example, in terms of the association observed between being made to do chores that were too difficult or dangerous and significantly higher odds for PEs even after adjusting for other forms of physical neglect, it is possible that this form of early life neglect may have placed the child in a situation where there was an increased risk of having an accident or being injured (Titi, van Niekerk, & Ahmed, 2018). This might be important as other research has linked injury and the potential trauma associated with it to higher odds for PEs both in low‐ and middle‐income countries and the United States.…”

Aim Childhood adversities have been linked to an increased risk for psychosis. However, as yet, there has been comparatively little research on the effects of neglect. This study examined the association between childhood physical neglect and psychotic experiences (PEs) in a general population sample. Methods Data were analysed from 2308 individuals collected during the National Comorbidity Survey Replication (NCS‐R). Information on lifetime PEs was collected with the WHO‐CIDI Psychosis Screen. Respondents also reported on five forms of childhood neglect (went hungry, went without necessities, went unsupervised, lacked medical care, chores too difficult/dangerous). Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to examine associations. Results In models adjusted for sociodemographic and psychiatric disorder variables, aggregated physical neglect scores (continuous/dichotomized) were associated with significantly increased odds for any lifetime PEs. All individual forms of neglect except went without necessities (odds ratio [OR]: 1.21, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.98‐1.50) were significantly associated with PEs with ORs ranging from 1.28 (95% CI: 1.08‐1.51, went unsupervised) to 1.53 (95% CI: 1.19‐1.97, went without medical care). In models that were further adjusted for co‐occurring forms of neglect and childhood physical abuse, doing chores that were too difficult/dangerous continued to be associated with significantly increased odds for PEs (OR: 1.29, 95% CI: 1.03‐1.61). Conclusions Childhood physical neglect is associated with significantly increased odds for PEs in the general population. Screening for childhood adversities and PEs among potential patients may be important for the early detection of individuals at high risk for psychosis, as well as for formulating comprehensive and effective treatment plans.

“…One study interviewed children in South Africa to investigate their understanding of the causes of childhood burns. Themes that appeared from the interviews centered around unsafe living structures (lack of electricity, overcrowded housing) or inadequate supervision and compromised caregiving (inebriated parent, parent leaves home after lighting the stove) [53]. A retrospective chart review of patients in the southwest US with injuries to their total body surface area (TBSA) >15% found that socioeconomic status (determined by zip code and US census data) was only associated with increased burn risk in patients who identified as women [54].…”

Social determinants of health (SDOH) are the conditions where people live, learn, work, and play that affect their health and quality of life. There has been an increasing focus on the SDOH in the field of medicine to both explain and address health outcomes. Both the risk of burn injuries and outcomes after burns have been found to be associated with multiple aspects of the SDOH. This narrative review seeks to explore the main domains of the social determinants of health, reiterate their importance to the general and burn injury population, examine each’s association with risks of burn injuries and burn-related outcomes, and provide an overview of the current burn research landscape that describes the social determinants of health.
