According to the e m guidelines the following type of information is gathered when obtaining the social history of the patient: smoking history, alcohol use, recreational drug use, socioeconomic data, sexual activity, exercise and physical activity. This information is important because it gives clues about the patient's lifestyle and habits and the possible consequences.
