3Treatment groups

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Self-directed web-based WE CARE implementation armExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

WE CARE will be implemented in the study site using a web-based implementation strategy. 1. Participants will receive the WE CARE survey at health supervision visits; this survey will be used to identify unmet material needs. 2. Providers will be trained on WE CARE via web-based tools (e.g., web-based seminar) which will teach them how to review the survey and provide referrals (community resource information sheets) from a Family Resource Book located in each exam room

Group II: On-site WE CARE implementation armExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

WE CARE will be implemented in the study site using a facilitated "on-site" strategy. 1. Participants will receive the WE CARE survey at health supervision visits; this survey will be used to identify unmet material needs. 2. Providers will be trained on WE CARE via an on-site team which will teach them how to review the survey and provide referrals (community resource information sheets) from a Family Resource Book located in each exam room.

Group III: Usual Care-ControlActive Control1 Intervention
