Summary

This study tests the Family Bridge Program, which uses a trained guide to help low-income families navigate the hospital, communicate with doctors, and prepare for going home. About 728 families with children in the hospital will be randomly assigned to get the program or usual care. The goal is to see if the program improves parents' ability to navigate the healthcare system and eases the transition from hospital to home.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Family Bridge Program (behavioral intervention with a trained lay navigator)
What this could lead to
If effective, this program could provide a scalable model to improve hospital experiences and outcomes for low-income families, reducing healthcare disparities.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral intervention study, not a drug trial. Success depends on consistent delivery and family engagement, and results may not apply to all settings.
