CIN001-HeadStart Navigator Intervention
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Headstart (HS) is an early childhood education program for low-income children. Preliminary analyses of Hamilton County HS preschoolers with developmental concerns identified 26% with "severe concern" necessitating developmental testing, and only 47% followed-through when some developmental concern was identified. Those less likely to follow-through were African American or Hispanic, lived in larger families, or had asthma. Cultural and economic factors are known barriers to earlier diagnosis of children with developmental disabilities (DD) among African American, Hispanic and low-income children. Given that HS children are low-income and culturally diverse, preschoolers are likely to face barriers to early identification of DD and subsequently kindergarten readiness. Patient navigator programs are effective interventions for vulnerable populations to improve health care access, increase treatment adherence, enhance trust in health care systems, and reduce health care costs. A family (FN) intervention that is culturally-adapted to promote caregiver follow-through, and undergirded by HS's mission of kindergarten success may effectively increase caregiver adherence to developmental testing. The goal of this study is to develop and pilot test a FN intervention in HS that is executed by peer-to-peer navigators to improve adherence with developmental testing in high-risk preschoolers.
