Summary
This trial will help researchers understand whether the ActionHealthNYC program improves access to healthcare for low-income immigrants in NYC.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for uninsured New York City residents aged 19 or older who are not eligible for Medicaid, the Essential Plan, or private insurance through federal marketplace subsidies because of their immigration status. Participants must have incomes at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level.
What is being tested?
The study is testing the ActionHealthNYC program, which aims to improve healthcare access and coordination services for NYC immigrant residents without public insurance. It's a year-long demonstration to see if it helps participants get easier access to primary care and preventive services compared to non-participants.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves health service accessibility rather than medication or medical procedures, there aren't typical side effects associated with participation. However, any unexpected outcomes related to accessing healthcare services will be monitored.
