Summary

This mixed-methods study aims to understand the implementation of a previously tested, efficacious social determinants of health (SDoH) screening and referral intervention in the outpatient pediatric hematology setting; qualitatively assess possible mechanisms for such interventions on improving child health; and obtain population-specific empirical estimates to plan a large-scale clinical trial.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

WE CARE SDoH Screening Survey

The survey will be given at all visits by the front desk staff to all parents of SCA patients. It consists of 12 questions designed to: (1) briefly identify 6 unmet material needs (e.g., childcare, employment, food security, household heat, housing inadequate education) by self-report and (2) using a family-centered approach, determine whether parents would like assistance with each problem Parents wanting help will receive a resource referral. Clinical team members will be trained to review the WE CARE SDoH survey at visits and to provide community resource information sheets to parents with needs. Completed surveys will be scanned into the EHR

BEHAVIORAL

Family Resource Book

The Family Resource book will contain one-page information sheets listing community resources (e.g., food pantries) and their contact information (i.e. telephone number) for each specific material need (e.g., food insecurity). Information sheets will be specific to each site and written at, or below, the 8th grade level. For parents with an identified need, providers will be instructed to give an information sheet. The book will contain six separate tabs, one for each unmet need, and will contain multiple copies of the information sheets. The Family Resource Book will be made available in each exam room. The investigators will work with each practice to create a Family Resource Book prior to study initiation.
