The corresponding official chapter: https://docs.gnuhealth.org/his/userguide/modules/socioeconomics.html Introduction to Socioeconomics The module health_socioeconomics takes care of the input of all the socio-economic factors that influence the health of the individual / family and society. Among others, GNU Health includes important factors such as living conditions, educational level, infrastructure, family affection (APGAR), drug addiction, hostile environment, teenage pregnancy, working children, etc. Main Tab thumb|The Main tab of the socioeconomics module in GNU Health The Main factors assess the general quality of life through the housing conditions, education level, occupation, workplace and its conditions. The information in this menu is supplemented by a free text box where you can add relevant notes of interest. In each category, we found a wide spectrum that will allow us to accurately define the socioeconomic status of the patient and determine its living conditions. In the particular case of this example, we see that the patient Ana Betz has a middle socioeconomic level, has completed university education and works as a teacher. Ana Betz also spends 10 hours away from home, does not work at home and her workplace is not a hostile area. Infrastructure Tab thumb|The Infrastructure tab of the socioeconomics module in GNU Health Regarding the Infrastructure tab, we find the checklist of the patient basic services such as sanitary sewers, gas supply, telephone, internet...as we can see in the next example: Note that the checklist is designed to uncheck the service that is lacking. All services are already tagged for an easier way to complete the list. Family Tab thumb|The Family tab of the socioeconomics module in GNU Health The Family tab provides information about the family through the Family APGAR. The Family APGAR has been widely used to study the relationship of family function and health problems in family practice offices.
