Clinical Trial Summary

This research project is aimed to assess the effectiveness and impact of a pediatric-based intervention aimed at reducing low-income families' unmet material needs (food, housing, employment, childcare, household heat, education and learning the English language ) on child health.


Clinical Trial Description

This project builds upon the PI's prior studies including a recently completed cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) at community health centers in Boston, which demonstrated a positive impact on provider referrals, discussion, and family receipt of resources. This study will specifically test the effectiveness of a further strengthened intervention "WE CARE 2.0" on provider referrals and family receipt of resources, along with its impact on child health, health care utilization, and developmental outcomes. Finally, we will gather information from stakeholders at the health centers in order to learn more about the facilitators and barriers to implementation of the model. The study will take place at six community health centers in the Greater Boston area. The centers will be randomized to either an intervention or control site. Data will be collected on referrals, receipt of resources, and child outcomes from the child's electronic medical record (EMR) from birth to age 3. Focus groups will be used to gather implementation data from intervention health center personnel. The WE CARE 2.0 intervention consists of: 1) WE CARE surveys which parents complete prior to their child's well-child visits; 2) information technology (IT) generated provider referrals which providers use to provide families with resource information sheets; 3) peer patient navigators who assist families in connecting to available resources and updating providers; and 4) training sessions for providers and office staff. Families attending the control health centers will receive standard of care. Of note, since the health centers share a common EMR and for ethical reasons, control sites will have access to the IT generated referral mechanism. ;
