About this study

In plain language

This study tests whether linking social support with health care helps selected adult clinic patients over time. Trained community health workers will help patients get support with needs such as rides, healthy food, health information, health care, jobs, and housing.

The goal of the Arizona Community Engagement Alliance (AZ-CEAL) will be to combine social care with healthcare programs. The study will be connecting selected patients from clinics with trained community health workers (CHW) who will assist participants in getting the help that is needed for their health such as transportation needs, accessing healthy food, health information, accessing good health care, job opportunities, and housing. The study will collect information from both the patients and the health care systems to test how effectively the care plan works over time.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
