Description
The purpose of this study is to understand how social determinants of health (SDoH) predict efficacy of Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). As relationship therapists, we ask, “Where are relationships in SDoH?” and “Is SFBT efficacy determined by SDoH?” As utilization of SFBT increases, it is essential to continue to assess the efficacy and limitations of SFBT. We seek to assess how SDoH inform the effectiveness of SFBT by measuring and evaluating SFBT in an urban community health setting where SDoH are predictive factors. Research methods used in this study include quantitative outcomes measured by likert scales and an approach that seeks to establish a replicable method for future studies. If the efficacy of SFBT is contingent on SDoH, then relationship therapists practicing SFBT will benefit from understanding how SFBT can be most effective, providing better understanding of limitations or strengths to best reach positive therapeutic outcomes.
