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.See study design
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.
