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