Summary

This study evaluated whether uninsured patients living at or below 200% of the federal poverty level who received enhanced, culturally-relevant, integrated behavioral health services were more likely to improve health outcomes after 12 months compared to similar patients receiving usual care from Hope Family Health Center (HFHC), a charitable community clinic. The study employed a randomized control trial (RCT) design where intervention participants receiving integrated care at HFHC were compared to control participants receiving usual care at HFHC. Patients were placed in each group using simple random assignment. Demographic and health outcome data were collected from intervention and control participants at baseline. Health outcome data were subsequently collected at 6-month and 12-month follow-up points.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Enhanced Integrated Behavioral Health Care

The intervention involved moving from HFHC's previous collaborative model, where medical and behavioral providers worked with each other episodically, to a more fully integrated collaborative care model with care coordination, shared treatment plans, shared service provision, and shared record keeping. To achieve this enhanced level of integration, HFHC changed its current primary care workflow to include a behavioral health specialist who conducted assessments, provided initial counseling (individual or group), and coordinated referrals to care management and/or community-based health services.

BEHAVIORAL

Usual Care

A collaborative model where medical and behavioral providers worked with each other episodically
