What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Parent-focused Redesign for Encounters, Newborns to Toddlers (PARENT) model, which incorporates community health workers as 'Parent's Coaches' to enhance well-child care services for Black families in low-income communities. The intervention aims to adapt existing care models to better meet the needs of underserved populations by providing comprehensive, family-centered care that includes preventive services and community resource connections. The study will assess the impact of this adapted model on the receipt of recommended preventive care services, emergency department utilization, and overall parent experiences of care.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are Black families with children aged 9 to 15 months who have had at least one visit to the participating practices in the past nine months.

Not a fit: Patients who do not meet the age or visit criteria, or those not insured by Partners for Kids, may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly improve access to preventive care and health outcomes for Black children in low-income communities.

How similar studies have performed: Previous studies using the PARENT model with Latino populations have shown positive outcomes, suggesting potential for success in adapting this model for Black families.
