Telephone-Based Care for Childhood Adversity
(CARE Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
The goal of this study is to learn how telephone-based screening and care coordination impacts children experiencing adverse childhood events (ACEs). The main questions are:
1. Does telephone-based screening and care coordination for children experiencing ACEs increase child receipt of ACEs-related services?
2. Does telephone-based screening and care coordination for children experiencing ACEs improve parent health and wellbeing?
3. Does telephone-based screening and care coordination for children experiencing ACEs improve child social and emotional health?
Researchers will compare families who have been randomly selected to receive telephone-based screening and care coordination with those who will receive usual care at their clinic.
Participants will:
* Be randomly assigned to receive usual care or usual care plus telephone-based screening and care coordination (the intervention)
* If selected for the intervention, be connected to 211 Los Angeles to receive screening and care coordination for up to 6 months
* Complete four surveys via interview; surveys will be done at enrollment and 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months following enrollment
* Agree to allow researchers to review their child's medical records to collect information about their child's health, screenings, diagnoses, and referrals.

Experimental Treatment
Active Control
A Care Coordination specialist will conduct ACEs screening over the phone using the PEARLS Part 1 and Part 2 questionnaire. Based on the ACEs screening results, the specialist will recommend and provide information about and connection to relevant evaluations and services. Participants will continue to receive usual well child care and ACEs screening using the PEARLS in the clinic. Participants may receive referrals and care coordination per their clinic's current practices.
