Social Needs

The purpose of this study is to design Community Enhancing Resources for Childhood cAncer support (CERCA) and refine intervention procedures to target Health-related Social Needs (HRSN) in families of children with cancer. CERCA will leverage existing community resources and create partnerships that will lead to sustainable outcomes. The hypothesis is that through context-driven co-design and community-engaged research methods, the study team will develop an acceptable intervention to target unmet HRSN in families of children with cancer.

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the best way to help families access social and economic support services in order to improve children's health for hospitalized children and their families/caregivers. The main question it aims to answer is, does providing active assistance from navigators to connect families to social/economic resources lead to greater improvements in child global health compared to providing passive referrals to resources among hospitalized children? All families will receive a tailored information sheet with referrals to community resources to address their social/economic needs and an introduction to how to search for resources using an online program. Researchers will compare families who receive these resources with families who also receive support from trained navigators, people with knowledge about local resources trained to connect families with resources. The study will examine whether the addition of navigator support improves families' access to services and children's health outcomes.

The investigators will conduct a comparative effectiveness randomized clinical trial with two "active comparator" arms. The investigators will evaluate the two current, usual care strategies (higher intensity "telephonic navigation" vs. lower intensity "virtual outreach") for addressing social needs among patients with multiple chronic conditions.

The goal of this clinical trial is to pilot test different strategies to address health related social needs (HRSN) experienced by adolescent and young adult patients with type 2 diabetes and their families. The main questions it aims to answer are: * How feasible are the strategies? * How acceptable are the strategies? * How reliably and consistently can the strategies be implemented? Participants will: Attend regularly scheduled diabetes clinic visits. Complete surveys and interviews. Be connected to community resources and organizations to help address HRSN.
