Show the study's own words
  • "The intervention structure was designed to reduce family costs related to time, thus monthly contact alternated between in-person sessions and phone calls, and in-person sessions could occur using "warm hand-offs" between providers (allowed piggybacking of appointments)."
  • "This will include the completion of all questionnaires and measures of anthropometrics."
  • "For orientations occurring online, following the signing of the consent form, questionnaires will be completed by verbally reviewing the questionnaires with families and collecting responses."
  • "During months 2, 4, and 6, BHCs will complete a 20-minute phone call with the caregiver."
  • "Families will have access to the $60 for one month and then it will expire."
Compensation
Not stated
  • Study-related exams and procedures are typically provided at no cost. This is how many trials work in general — confirm the details for this study with the study team.
  • Participants are monitored closely by the research team throughout the study.
  • Some participants may receive access to an investigational treatment, which is still being studied.
  • Your participation helps researchers learn whether this approach could help future patients.
