Study Details

The goal of this randomized clinical comparative effectiveness trail is to compare the effects of patient navigator models on follow-up care in Latinx and Indigenous Mexican immigrant patient populations. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer \[is/are\]: * Participants randomized to PN-CHW compared to the PN-CS model will be more likely to follow through with follow-up care referrals * Trust will be a driving factor as to why PN-CHW will be a more effective intervention for the patient population. Researchers will compare patients in a patient navigator community health worker (PN-CHW) intervention to those in a patient navigator clinical staff (PN-CS) intervention to see which model of linkage to care is more effective for follow-up care in the patient population. Participants will be asked to: * Complete a baseline survey about healthcare access * Receive calls and text messages from either a CHW or clinical staff * Complete a follow up survey

Arms

  • Active Comparator: Patient Navigator/ Community Health Worker
    The community health worker will contact the participant two days after their initial clinic visit. They will call the participant to offer support and counseling on accessing their follow-up visits with local healthcare system. Additionally, the PN will call 1 day prior to the scheduled appointment to offer support and information to the patient followed by a reminder text the morning of the appointment.
  • Active Comparator: Patient Navigator/Clinic Staff
    Clinic staff will contact the participant two days after their initial clinic visit. They will call the participant to offer support and counseling on accessing their follow-up visits with local healthcare system. Additionally, the clinic staff will call 1 day prior to the scheduled appointment to offer support and information to the patient followed by a reminder text the morning of the appointment.
