Unmet Social Needs Among Hospitalized Children
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
The purpose of this pilot study is to determine the feasibility and acceptability of implementing a social needs screening and intervention protocol in the pediatric inpatient setting by conducting a pilot trial on a pediatric ward. The investigators' hypothesis is that it will be feasible and acceptable to implement a social needs screening and intervention protocol. The investigators will work with pediatric word healthcare team members to develop a social needs screening and intervention protocol. They will then compare preliminary health and social outcome measures between children hospitalized during the pre-intervention period (control group) vs. the post-intervention period (intervention group).

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.
