Addressing Social Needs to Improve Health in Adults With Multiple Chronic Conditions
This study is looking at how different ways of connecting people with social services can improve their health. It compares two approaches: "Telephonic Outreach," where a health navigator actively calls and follows up with you for up to 3 months, and "Virtual Outreach," which uses texts, emails, or letters to share information about available benefits and services. You might be able to join if you are an adult with two or more long-term health problems (chronic conditions), have gaps in your medical care, and report having social challenges that make it hard to get care. The study aims to see if these approaches help people get social services, reduce their social needs, and close gaps in their medical care. The current recruitment status is unclear.
