Descrição detalhada
The investigators prior work has focused on developing a pediatric primary care-based intervention, WE CARE (Well-child care visit, Evaluation, Community Resources, Advocacy, Referral, Education), aimed at addressing poor families' material needs - food security, employment, parental education, housing stability, household heat, and childcare - by systematically screening for these needs and referring families to existing community-based services. To date, the investigators have tested WE CARE primarily in community health centers (CHCs); their randomized controlled trial (RCT) demonstrated WE CARE's efficacy on parental receipt of community-based resources. However, over 80% of low-income children receive care from providers in traditional pediatric practices (i.e. non-CHCs). The investigators therefore will conduct a large-scale, Hybrid Type 2 effectiveness-implementation trial in eighteen pediatric practices in the US. A stepped wedge study cluster RCT design will be used to implement WE CARE in all practices using two common strategies used to integrate systems-based interventions into primary care - a previously facilitated "on-site" strategy in which content experts provide training sessions and on-going consultation; and a self-directed "web-based" method modeled after the American Academy of Pediatrics' practice transformation strategy. Of note, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the on-site strategy was changed to a "study team facilitated live webinar" implementation strategy. The proposed study's specific aims are to: 1) demonstrate the non-inferiority of the self-directed, web-based strategy for implementing WE CARE, in comparison to the facilitated on-site strategy; 2) demonstrate WE CARE's effectiveness on increasing parental receipt of community resources; and 3) assess the sustainability of WE CARE in pediatric practices. The investigators hypothesize that WE CARE will have equivalent fidelity via the two strategies. Based on prior work, the investigators hypothesize that WE CARE will significantly increase parental receipt of community resources three months post-visit compared to usual care. The investigators also expect WE CARE to be sustained 1.5-, 2-, and 2.5-years post-implementation; they expect to gather data from over 2,700 chart reviews, 2,520 parents, and 360 providers and office staff. This proposal has significant public health implications for the delivery of primary care to low-income children.

Experimental: Study team facilitated live webinar WE CARE implementation arm
WE CARE will be implemented in the study site using a facilitated "live webinar" strategy. 1. Participants will receive the WE CARE survey at health supervision visits; this survey will be used to identify unmet material needs. 2. Providers will be trained on WE CARE via a live webinar facilitated by the study team which will teach them how to review the survey and provide referrals (community resource information sheets) from a Family Resource Book located in each exam room. |
The WE CARE (Well-child care visit, Evaluation, Community Resources, Advocacy, Referral, Education) survey consists of 12 questions used to identify six unmet material needs (education, employment, food security, housing, childcare, household utilities). It will be administered at health supervision visits during the WE CARE phase at each study site. The Family Resource Book will contain resource information sheets for each of these needs listing available community resources. A physician champion will conduct regular booster sessions every 4 months and train new providers should there be staff turnover. |

Experimental: Self-directed pre-recorded webinar WE CARE implementation arm
WE CARE will be implemented in the study site using a pre-recoded webinar implementation strategy. 1. Participants will receive the WE CARE survey at health supervision visits; this survey will be used to identify unmet material needs. 2. Providers will be trained on WE CARE via self-directed pre-recorded webinar which will teach them how to review the survey and provide referrals (community resource information sheets) from a Family Resource Book located in each exam room. |
