Brief Summary:
To determine the acceptability and feasibility of a community health worker intervention that assists dialysis patients with low socioeconomic status navigate community resources to address health-related social needs. Findings will be used for a future randomized trial that determines the efficacy of the CHW intervention on mental health, quality of life, addressing social needs, and clinical outcomes. This study is intended to be generalizable in all dialysis centers.
Detailed Description:
The research team will conduct a single-arm 6-month pilot study testing the feasibility of implementing a tailored, health-related social needs intervention among dialysis patients. The research teamwill recruit 30 dialysis (all modalities) patients agedā„18 years with low socioeconomic status to participate in a CHW intervention. The CHW intervention will be modeled after IMPaCT (Individualized Management for Patient-Centered Targets), a 6-month CHW intervention that addresses "upstream" socioeconomic and behavioral barriers to treatment for individuals with chronic diseases, which has been adapted to numerous populations and shown to improve care and reduce hospitalizations. The CHW will identify health-related social needs and help participants navigate community resources to meet needs. All participants will receive the intervention. All participants will also participate in a CHW-led support group, that will occur monthly. The research team will compare outcomes during the 6-months before and during the intervention period. This pilot study aims to (1) assess the feasibility of recruiting dialysis patients experiencing health-related social needs to an intervention trial, and (2) assess the feasibility of implementing the intervention within this population, in a fashion deemed acceptable.
