Reducing Disparities in Knee Arthroscopy for Adolescent Hispanic Soccer Players
This study aims to improve care for adolescent Hispanic soccer players (ages 14-18) who experience knee injuries like ACL tears or meniscus tears. Many young athletes need knee surgery, but delays can happen due to language barriers, insurance issues, or difficulty understanding the healthcare system. These delays can lead to long-term problems like arthritis. This study will test an educational program and patient navigator (a person who helps guide patients through the healthcare system) to see if it can reduce these delays. Teams will either receive this program or just information about the navigator. The main goal is to see if the program is practical, appropriate, and well-received by players, coaches, and families.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study with 80 planned participants. Teams from soccer leagues will be randomly assigned to either receive the educational program and patient navigator or only receive navigator information.
- What's involved
- Participants in the intervention group will attend a brief presentation and can contact the navigator with injury concerns throughout one soccer season. All participants will complete baseline and post-season surveys.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed for one soccer season, during which primary endpoints like feasibility and acceptability of the intervention will be measured.
