About this study
Official title: CommunityRx-Cardiovascular Disease: Implementation of the HealtheRx to Reduce Health Inequity in Rural Eastern North Carolina
The goal of this single arm pre-test post-test design study is to test the impact of providing patients with information about community-based resources to address health-related social needs and cardiometabolic health in rural African American patients. The main question it aims to answer is:
- What is the effectiveness of community resource information on patient self-efficacy to use community resources?

Participants will be given:
- A personalized "HealtheRx" resource with information about community resources related to food, housing, utility support, transportation, and crisis support. The HealtheRx is personalized for patients based on their age and zip code.
- Access to a community resource navigator for support with using the HealtheRx upon request
- 2 text messages with reminders about the HealtheRx and access to the community resource navigator

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
HealtheRxOther
CRx-CVD intervention provides participants with a HealtheRx, a tool developed by researchers with personalized listings of community resources with information about housing, food assistance, utility support, transportation and crisis support for patients. A HealtheRx may can be given directly, texted or emailed to patients and caregivers. All patients enrolled in this group will receive the HealtheRx either via text and/or email based on participant preference. Participants will receive contact information for a Community Resource Navigator who can provide support with using the HealtheRx, provide additional resources upon request, and answer any questions the participant may have. Participants will also receive a 2 reminder text messages over 2 months following their initial receipt of the HealtheRx. The SMS messages offer reminders about the HealtheRx and ongoing community resource navigation support.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in Participant Self-efficacy for Finding Community Resources
Change in self-efficacy for finding community resources is measured using one item constructed from Bandura's Self-Efficacy Scale which asks, "How confident are you in your ability to find resources in your community that help you manage your health?" Responses will be assessed on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1= "not at all confident" to 5= "completely confident." Lower scores indicate lower levels of confidence, and higher scores indicate higher levels of confidence.
Measured: Baseline, up to 6 months
Secondary outcomes (2)
Change in Participant Knowledge of Community Resources
Change in participant knowledge of community resources is measured using 10 self-reported survey items adapted and tested in prior CommunityRx studies asking, "For each place that I list, please tell me if you know of places like this in your community: [insert community resource]." The change in the mean number of "yes" responses will be reported.
Measured: Baseline, up to 6 months
Change in Participant Utilization of Community Resources
Change in participant utilization of community resources is measured using 10 self-reported survey items adapted and tested in prior CommunityRx studies asking participants "Have you received services from places like this for you or your household in the last 6 months?" The change in the mean number of "yes" responses will be reported.
Measured: Baseline, up to 6 months
