Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) clinical trials at UCSF

2 in progress, 1 open to eligible people

Showing trials for
  • Clinical Decision Support to Provide Social Risk-Informed Care for Opioid Use Disorder in the Emergency Department

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    The overarching goal of this proposal is to integrate patient social risk information into an existing electronic health record (EHR)-based clinical decision support (CDS) tool (CDSv1) to facilitate emergency department (ED)-initiated, social risk-informed opioid use disorder (OUD) medication treatment and ultimately improve treatment adherence and follow up. The investigators will evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the social care-enhanced CDS tool, CDSv2, (compared to CDSv1) at a single study site (UCSF) as an intervention to increase medication treatment adherence and follow up for adult ED patients experiencing opioid use disorder using a mixed-methods, before-after approach.

  • Social Needs Assistance for Hospitalized Kids Trial

    Sorry, not yet accepting patients

    The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the best way to help families access social and economic support services in order to improve children's health for hospitalized children and their families/caregivers. The main question it aims to answer is, does providing active assistance from navigators to connect families to social/economic resources lead to greater improvements in child global health compared to providing passive referrals to resources among hospitalized children? All families will receive a tailored information sheet with referrals to community resources to address their social/economic needs and an introduction to how to search for resources using an online program. Researchers will compare families who receive these resources with families who also receive support from trained navigators, people with knowledge about local resources trained to connect families with resources. The study will examine whether the addition of navigator support improves families' access to services and children's health outcomes.
