About the study

The HEAL-Tx is a 90-day intervention, in which a Health Advocate works with eligible families to identify and apply for community-based resources, alert healthcare providers to challenges the family is encountering, and guide health system navigation (e.g., coordinating appointments). Families in the control arm will receive a printed handout that provides contact information for local community-based resources. Families in the treatment arm will receive HEAL-Tx.
