PN involves 8 weekly telephonic sessions lasting 30-45 minutes (telephonic to support lower-costs/sustainability). In session 1, the navigator reviews with the participant a report of scores from the baseline assessment to understand the participant's current health needs/challenges; session 1 also involves development of therapeutic alliance/rapport and goal setting. Sessions 2-4 focus on goal setting and identifying barriers and problem resolutions. The navigator elicits motivation and discusses this in context of readiness to change heath behavior and self-management skills. Sessions 2-4 also involve navigators supporting/assisting patients to fill out paperwork and enroll in needed social services and/or mental/behavioral/physical healthcare, including but not limited to primary care. Sessions 5-7 focus on encouraging and reinforcing treatment adherence, review-ing and identifying other care needs, and offering linkages to service providers as applicable
