Brief Summary:
The investigators want to find out if providing a Community Health Educator Referral Liaison CHERL helps practices help their patients change risky behaviors tobacco use physical inactivity unhealthy diet and risky drinking by connecting patients to available services in the community or directly providing behavior change support
Detailed Description:
What is this about Prescription for Health P4H is a national initiative funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Nine projects have been funded nationally in this second round to advance the goals of improving health behavior identification and delivery in primary care practice Each project is conducted through a practice-based research network PBRN In Michigan our PBRN is called the Great Lakes Research In Practice Network GRIN
What is the purpose of the CHERL project In our study we want to find out if providing a Community Health Educator Referral Liaison CHERL helps practices help their patients change risky behaviors tobacco use physical inactivity unhealthy diet and risky drinking by connecting patients to available services in the community or directly providing behavior change support
Primary care providers play a key roll in encouraging patients to choose healthy behaviors However effective behavior change requires long term follow up and support that may not be readily available within the office practice CHERL can help provide or link to those services thus helping the healthy message promoted by the clinician to have a more powerful and lasting effect
What is the CHERL intervention With this funding we will hire and train a CHERL to work with practices The purpose of the CHERL is for himher to help secure behavior change support for your patients either by referring to an available resource within the community or directly providing the service This service is available to patients with or without chronic disease diagnoses ie patients with diabetes heart disease hypertension obesity back pain lung disease or generally healthy with opportunities to change unhealthy habits
Patients are referred to the CHERL and heshe will determine an appropriate next step for your patient - either referral to a community program or the CHERL will provide brief telephone counseling The health care provider will receive feedback specifically on each patient referred
In addition some practices consultant-enhanced will receive additional assistance from the CHERL as heshe serves as a consultant to the practice helping the practice to identify systematic mechanisms for identification and referral of at risk patients to the CHERL
