Summary
CommunityRx-Hunger (CRx-H) is a hospital-based intervention that addresses food insecurity and other health-related social needs such as transportation, housing, utilities, and safety. Study team members are recruiting caregivers at the time of their child's hospital admission at a large urban children's hospital. For Aim 1, the primary outcome is self-efficacy among food insecure caregivers compared to those who receive the usual standard of care. For Aim 2, the primary outcome is satisfaction with care compared between food secure and food insecure caregivers.

Community Rx-Hunger (CRx-H)
The CRx-H Intervention provides "dosages" of health content that offer assistance for food insecurity and other health-related social needs. A caregiver randomized to the intervention will receive a hard-copy print-out of their tailored list of resources to address food insecurity. A member of our research team will deliver this list and provide a brief educational component which includes: a brief, structured script about the common problem of food insecurity in households with children and co-occuring HRSNs, review of the resource list which includes nearby, vetted resources to address these needs and coaching on how to activate resources on the list. Prior to discharge, the caregiver will receive a duplicate copy of the list of resources. After discharge, the caregiver will receive text messages at a frequency based on the Critical Time Intervention (CTI) Model, from baseline to 3 months post discharge, in order to receive ongoing support by a research team member.
