SUMMARY:Integrating Health and Social Services through a Novel Independent Practice Association
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER FOR THIS WEBINAR HERE. \nThis webinar introduces a new S4A study investigating the impact of a novel independent practice association (IPA) formed among community-based social service organizations (CBOs) to address social determinants of health among residents of upstate New York. The Healthy Alliance IPA allows diverse CBOs offering services for housing\, transportation\, food\, and other social needs to join together in a shared-governance association that facilitates referrals\, care coordination\, and performance-based contracting with health plans and medical providers. A quasi-experimental research design is used to compare patients residing in counties served by the Healthy Alliance IPA with a matched comparison group of patients from other counties\, using measures of healthcare utilization\, social service utilization\, and total cost of care. The study focuses specifically on the outcomes experienced by racial and ethnic minority populations and also examines the roles played by CBOs led by Black\, Indigenous\, Latino and other persons of color. The research team is led by Stanford University School of Medicine in partnership with the Healthy Alliance IPA\, Albany County Department of Health\, Rensselaer County Department of Health\, and other community partners.

SUMMARY:Multisector Task-Sharing to Improve Mental Health in Harlem\, NY
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER FOR THIS WEBINAR HERE. \nThis webinar introduces a new S4A study evaluating the effectiveness of a multisector task-sharing collaborative in addressing the inter-related problems of mental health disorders\, poverty\, and housing instability among racial and ethnic minority communities residing in Harlem\, New York. The collaborative trains the staff at low-income housing agencies and primary care practices to engage in mental health task-sharing\, whereby staff deliver basic mental health support services such as screening\, psychoeducation\, peer support\, and referral to mental health specialists. Community health workers are placed at these same sites to help connect clients with needed social services beyond housing and primary care. A randomized controlled trial is used to evaluate the impact of the task-sharing model on mental health\, social functioning\, employment\, and quality of life. The study is conducted by the Harlem Strong Mental Health Coalition\, led by the City University of New York (CUNY) in partnership with the Harlem Congregation for Community Improvement\, Healthfirst Managed Care\, and Coordinated Behavioral Care.
