FL-CEAL Study: Community Support for Health Challenges

This study, called FL-CEAL, is looking at different ways to help people with everyday challenges that can affect their health, like finding healthy food or getting medical care. Researchers want to see if meeting with a Community Health Worker (CHW) is more helpful than just receiving educational materials. A CHW is a person from the community who can help you find resources. You might be able to join if you are at least 13 years old, live in the target community, and have at least two unmet social needs (like needing help with food or healthcare access). The study will measure changes in your general well-being over six months to see if the interventions are successful. The current recruitment status is unclear.
