Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main goal of this research is to help families who are experiencing food insecurity (FI) and help mothers with depression.

The next goal is to provide other resources to help with household needs like rent or utility assistance, health insurance, anxiety, and depression. Our theory is that helping with food insecurity, household needs, and emotional health will help children and families.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Aim 1: Implement a refined mental health (MH) intervention in caregivers of hospitalized children: sessions with a Behavioral Health Clinician (BHC) with more individualized support based on caregiver-child needs, instruction on caregiver-child bonding, and a streamlined handoff to a community MH provider. Follow-up outcomes include caregiver MH and caregiver-child attachment (survey) and child development (electronic health records, EHR).

Aim 2: Execute an enhanced intervention for FI. All families who screen positive for FI will still receive assistance with public benefit enrollment and access to local food pantries. Families with additional needs will receive support for 10 additional non-medical drivers of health (NMDH). Assistance will be provided by onsite Houston Food Bank (HFB) Community Referral Specialists. Follow-up outcomes include enrollment in public/community resources and food security status (survey).
