简要总结
Adult hearing loss in is the third most common chronic health condition in the United States. Adults living in rural areas face a higher risk of experiencing hearing loss, and more difficulty receiving testing and treatment than adults in urban settings. The goal of this clinical trial is to develop and test a community-based hearing healthcare patient navigation program in rural Kentucky. The main question this study aims to answer is:
-Can the number of rural adults receiving diagnostic hearing tests be increased?
详细描述
Investigators will pilot test the rural hearing health care patient navigation program (N=500 patients from 10 rural clinics). The program will be evaluated with the following outcome: number of participants obtaining a diagnostic audiogram within past 12 months after enrollment among rural adults
