Our Peers - Empowerment and Navigational Support

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Disabled Persons

In brief

People with physical disabilities experience well documented barriers to healthcare access, quality and outcomes. The purpose of this study is to implement and evaluate a 12-month peer health navigator intervention (called Our Peer-Empowerment and Navigational Support) designed to help Medicaid beneficiaries with physical disabilities break down barriers to care through a systematic process of 1) rapport building, 2) identification of healthcare needs and priorities, 3) identification of barriers and supports, 4) co-creation of goal and action plans, and 5) provision of social and informational support. It is hypothesized that people in the interventional trial will experience: improved patient activation, increased social support, increased access to care, increased quality of care, and increased health outcomes compared to people in the control group.
