Overview
Brief Summary
The overall goal of this research is to evaluate a new program designed to address basic human needs, create a safe and supportive environment for families, and help families build skills and confidence for navigating the health care system.
Specifically, we aim to pilot test the feasibility and acceptability of the Targeted Inpatient Navigation (TNav) program for families of low income, minority hospitalized children.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Program feasibility
Time Frame: Calculated for each family after program involvement is complete, generally 1 week after discharge.

Program acceptability to providers--qualitative
Time Frame: Once per month, every month that they care for an enrolled family, up to 6 months
Program acceptability will be determined qualitatively, on the basis of thematic content analysis of semi-structured interviews with the doctors, nurses, social workers and care coordinators who were involved in their hospital care.
Program acceptability to caregivers--qualitative
Time Frame: 4-6 weeks after discharge
Program acceptability will be determined qualitatively, on the basis of thematic content analysis of semi-structured interviews with enrolled caregivers
