From April 2016 to June 2017, the Health + Housing Project employed four community health workers who engaged residents of two subsidized housing buildings in New York City to address individuals' broadly defined health needs, including social and economic risk factors. Following the intervention, we observed significant improvements in residents' food security, ability to pay rent, and connection to primary care. No immediate change was seen in acute health care use or more narrowly defined health outcomes.
从 2016 年 4 月到 2017 年 6 月,健康+住房项目雇用了四名社区卫生工作者,他们让纽约市两栋补贴住房的居民参与进来,以解决个人广泛定义的健康需求,包括社会和经济风险因素。干预措施实施后,我们观察到居民的粮食安全、支付租金的能力和与初级保健的联系都有显著改善。急性医疗保健的使用或更狭义的健康结果没有立即看到变化。
