A brief social history typically includes the following three key elements:

It may also cover the patient's support system, including friends and community connections. Understanding the patient's social interactions can provide insight into their support network and potential stressors that could affect their well-being.

2. **Occupation and Education**: This part of the social history covers the patient's educational background, current employment status, and work history. It may also include information about financial stability and job satisfaction. This information can help to identify factors that may be contributing to the patient's current health concerns or that may affect their ability to follow treatment recommendations.

3. **Lifestyle and Leisure Activities**: This section includes information about the patient's hobbies, interests, and how they spend their free time. It also covers lifestyle choices such as diet, exercise, sleep patterns, tobacco use, alcohol consumption, and drug use. These details can provide a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's overall health and risk factors for certain conditions.

Collecting a brief social history is an important part of a holistic approach to patient care, as it helps healthcare providers understand the context of a patient's life and how it may impact their health and treatment.
