First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

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.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward effective ways to help justice-involved adults get the healthcare they need.
