Interventions

  • Implementation of social determinants of health screening and referral — OTHER
    WE CARE is a relatively simple, low-intensity intervention that has two key components: (1) screening individuals using the WE CARE SDOH Screener for unmet social needs, and (2) providing individuals who have unmet social needs with SDOH Community Resource sheets

Study Details

Up to a quarter of the families with preterm infants have unmet social needs, such as housing or job insecurity, which represent adverse social determinants of health (SDOH). Preterm infants are especially vulnerable to the social conditions they grow up in, with sustained impacts on function across multiple organ systems. The goal of this study is to translate an established model of SDOH screening and referral from the outpatient setting to the NICU, thereby maximizing the potential to offset the effects of adverse SDOH on vulnerable mother-preterm infant dyads.

Arms

  • Other: Social needs screening and referral care
    As a step wedge cluster randomized trial all sites will be assigned to receive the intervention in a randomized order. There is no difference in the intervention by site, the only difference is the timing of the beginning of the intervention. Therefore, we have only identified one arm.

Primary Outcome Measure
