First seen Jul 07, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether telephone-based screening and care coordination can help children who have experienced adverse childhood events (ACEs) access services like mental health care, developmental support, and material resources. Families are randomly assigned to receive either usual care or usual care plus up to six months of phone-based support from a care coordinator. The study tracks whether children receive needed services and whether parents and children show improvements in health and well-being over one year.
