Overview
The purpose of the study is learn more about ways to help people with non-medical issues that can affect participant health. The study team will examine if Community Health Workers, members of a community who provide basic health and medical care within communities, are more helpful to people with non-medical issues than simple reading materials on how participants can do it themselves.
Interventions
- Behavioral Community health workers (CHW)
Participants will meet with a Community Health Worker (CHW) who will help facilitate and provide personalized navigation to existing resources for addressing health challenges such as food insecurity and access to care. CHW will meet with participants in person or virtually at least three times for approximately 15-60 minutes for over the six month period - Behavioral Educational Materials
Participants will receive one time educational materials including information of existing health resources. Participants will be able to review materials at participant discretion.
