Randomized Controlled Trial Examining Health Care Access Interventions for Taxi Drivers
Sponsor: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of providing the usual health fair service and follow-up alone plus additional interventions of Navigation Case Management (NCM) or mobile text messaging (mTECH) and Taxi health Improvement Promoter (TIP). The addition of NCM or mTECH and TIP to the usual follow-up could prove to be more effective in finding the best way to make sure taxi drivers go to important medical appointments and have a regular doctor to help with their health problems. This study will help researchers find out whether the different approaches are better, the same as, or worse than the usual approach. In the event that participants are unable to meet in person for biometric measurements, staff will accept their self-reported weight, blood pressure, and waist circumference over the phone. Staff may mail blood pressure machines (to participants who did not receive them at baseline), scales, and measuring tapes to participants to assist in the completion of self-reported biometric measures. Along with supplies, participants may also receive a letter asking for the confirmation of supply receipt.
