Patient Navigation Clinical Trial
Official title:
Co-design and Evaluation of a Patient Navigator Intervention for Migrant Children and Youth With Special Healthcare Needs (CYSHCN) Experiencing Care Transitions
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to test if a patient navigator program improves healthcare experiences and outcomes for migrant families caring for a child or youth with special healthcare needs (i.e. chronic health condition). The main questions are, for migrant families with a child or youth with special healthcare needs: Does a patient navigator reduces barriers to care? Does a patient navigator improve care coordination, caregiver empowerment, caregiver stress and quality of life? What are the healthcare experiences for families with and without the patient navigator intervention? Participants will: - Receive the intervention, i.e., the patient navigator program, or continue with standard of care for 12 months - Fill out questionnaires at 3 time points on barriers to care, caregiver stress, care coordination, and their child's health
