The goal of this study is to pilot test the IN-Control Birth Control Navigator Program in Central Indiana for use by adolescents who would like to access birth control. The investigators hypothesize that facilitating access to contraception through our intervention will ultimately result in increased feelings of autonomy around these decisions and use of hormonal contraception.
Using data from the Chelsea Eats program, we propose to study a randomized controlled trial in which the City of Chelsea, Massachusetts held a lottery to allocate cash benefits to its residents for ten months during the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic. We will analyze the impact of the cash benefit on health care utilization and health.
The purpose of this study is to pilot test the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of healthcare provider referrals to a tax filing app within parent-child health programs to test whether such referrals can increase receipt of tax credits among low-income parents. The study will use a single-group, pre/post test design with a sample of approximately 100 women who have a child under 6 years of age. Participants will be recruited from parental-child health programs and clinics in Los Angeles and will complete surveys at baseline, immediately after tax filing season, and six months after tax filing season to assess 1) frequency of tax filing after referral (Feasibility), 2) the acceptability of the tax filing app from the perspective of users (Acceptability), and 3) pre/posttest changes to parent and child health, child development, and healthcare utilization measures for users (preliminary efficacy).
The primary goal is to understand the potential impacts of Guaranteed Income (GI) on Black youth and young adults' financial, emotional, and physical well-being. The main question it aims to answer is: What are the impacts of GI on Black young adults' investments in their future, mental health and unmet mental and sexual/reproductive health service needs? Participants will receive guaranteed income for 12 months and will be offered enrollment in financial capability programs.
The goal of this randomized intervention study is to learn about effective health literacy teaching methods in Justice Involved Adults (JIA). Researchers will compare coach-guided health literacy or self-study design to see if there is a difference in the access and use of healthcare in this population. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Will this improve access and use of heath services? - Will this improve health insurance coverage and long term use of health services? Participants will: - Meet with a health coach and service navigator during 12 sessions or meet with service navigator and complete online training over 12 weeks. - Complete surveys at different time (6months, 1 year)
Randomized study to assess the impact of supplemental educational YouTube videos on postoperative healthcare utilization following ambulatory pediatric urologic surgery
The goal of this randomized counterbalanced repeated measures study is to test beet-root juice supplementation and red light therapy augment forearm muscle endurance in apparently healthy older adults over 65 years of age. The main questions seek to answer the following question: Does beet-root juice supplementation improve forearm muscle endurance compared to a placebo supplement? Does red light therapy improve forearm muscle endurance compared to a sham light exposure? Does beet-root juice supplementation in combination with red light therapy improve forearm muscle endurance compared to a placebo-sham light control?
Healthcare systems and insurers have tried to reduce costs by improving the care and coordination provided to patients with high healthcare spending. Often termed, "hotspotting", these interventions seek to lower costs by reducing care provided in fragmented, high-cost settings, including the emergency department and inpatient settings, by addressing the social determinants of health and improving patients' access to lower-cost, ambulatory settings. Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC), in collaboration with Tennessee's Medicaid agency (TennCare), is piloting a program to reduce costs and improve the quality of care provided to high-risk TennCare enrollees by referring them from inpatient settings to VUMC primary care services. This study seeks to evaluate this pilot by comparing outcomes between Medicaid patients referred to VUMC primary care services and similar Medicaid patients not referred to VUMC primary care services using data from surveys and administrative sources, including electronic health records and health insurance claims.
