Details and patient eligibility
About
The goal of this research program is to reduce health disparities by deploying an information-based intervention to increase caregiver utilization of community-based food supports and satisfaction with care among food insecure caregivers of hospitalized children. We will conduct a randomized controlled trial to evaluate, versus usual care, the effects of the CommunityRx-H intervention on caregiver use of food resources (primary), caregiver patient satisfaction with care (primary), caregiver mental health-related quality of life (secondary), and caregiver household food security (secondary). The proposed research will yield an understanding of how to leverage a child's hospitalization to effectively intervene on the problem of food insecurity. Findings will inform the rapidly growing field of healthcare-based interventions to address health-related social needs.
