Summary

The investigators propose to test a community-developed and targeted intervention that employs community health workers (CHWs) as aides to newly Medicaid-insured women. These women face the challenges of engaging with their healthcare and health and of making highly personal and socioculturally embedded decisions about reproductive health-related preventive services (e.g., contraception, STI and cancer screening).

BEHAVIORAL

Community health worker

Community health workers (CHWs) in Hispanic communities, often referred to as "promotoras," are members of the community who use "resource sharing, partnership development, education, outreach, health promotion, and disease prevention strategies to improve the health" of their communities. IG1: The intervention itself consists of a 45-minute one-on-one presentation and tailored planning session delivered by a CHW in a community setting of the new member's choosing. Presentations (in English or Spanish) will be delivered using a tablet computer or a hand held flipchart. Two booster telephone interactions will be performed at 2 and 4 months. At month 6, the participant will receive a call from the telephone interviewer to administer the informed patient choice survey.
