MOLAR: Mapping Oral Health and Local Area Resources
February 9, 2024 updated by: Margaret Samuels-Kalow, Massachusetts General Hospital
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the impact of a screening and linkage intervention for adverse social determinants of health (aSDoH) on oral health linkage to care for emergency department patients.
Researchers will compare three groups: Patients in Arm A will receive paper handouts with general oral health and aSDoH resources.
Patients in Arm B will receive paper handouts with geographically-proximate oral health and aSDoH resources.
Patients in Arm C will receive geographically-proximate oral health and aSDoH resources plus active navigational assistance.

Plan for Individual participant data (IPD)
Plan to Share Individual Participant Data (IPD)?
YES
IPD Plan Description
Due to the sensitive nature of the database (including information about potential stigmatizing factors including social risk and need), access to scientific data will be controlled and provided under a restricted data contract to users who demonstrate a valid research need and meet conditions of use.
Scientific Data derived from humans will be protected through de-identification, removal of information that may be used to infer the identity of individuals and shared under controlled-access conditions as required by institutional policy.
IPD Sharing Time Frame
Data will be made available as soon as possible or at the time of associated publication, whichever comes first.
The duration of preservation and sharing of the data will be a minimum of 10 years after the funding period.
