First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 16, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests whether a coach-guided health literacy program helps justice-involved adults access and use healthcare services more effectively. Researchers will compare the coach-guided approach to a self-study option in 300 participants from San Diego County. The goal is to see if these programs improve healthcare use, insurance coverage, and long-term care access.
