Study Details

The goal of this randomized intervention study is to learn about effective health literacy teaching methods in Justice Involved Adults (JIA). Researchers will compare coach-guided health literacy or self-study design to see if there is a difference in the access and use of healthcare in this population. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Will this improve access and use of heath services? * Will this improve health insurance coverage and long term use of health services? Participants will: * Meet with a health coach and service navigator during 12 sessions or meet with service navigator and complete online training over 12 weeks. * Complete surveys at different time (6months, 1 year)

Arms

  • Experimental: Coach-guided
    In person or phone call with an assigned Health Coach for about 1 hour per week for 12 weeks to complete the Health Literacy course, and with an assigned Service Navigator for 30 minutes per week for 12 weeks to address health and social service needs.
  • Active Comparator: Self study
    Self-guided printed or online version of the Health Literacy course (approximately 1 hour per week for 12 weeks) and comprehensive Service Navigation report with recommended referrals to services, providers, and contact information for service providers so that the participant can access these resources independently (i.e., without Navigator assistance).
