Impact of a Medical-Financial Partnership Intervention on Parent Mental Health, Perinatal Outcomes, and Child Developmental Risk
Sponsor: University of California, Los Angeles
Summary
Poverty and financial stress are key social drivers of health and root causes of worse health beginning in pregnancy, continuing into childhood, and extending over the life course, but clinical tools to address the health impacts of poverty and financial stress are needed. This trial is of a multi-site medical-financial partnership intervention to examine its effect on parent, perinatal, and child outcomes, as well as health care utilization, and family financial and social risk. This pragmatic randomized clinical effectiveness trial will examine the impact of a clinic-based medical-financial partnership intervention beginning either 1) in the newborn period (Intervention Arm 1) or 2) during prenatal care (Intervention Arm 2) versus controls on parent, child, and family/household outcomes.
