Access to Health Care

Brief summary

This community-driven study features a mixed-method, participatory design to examine help-seeking behavior and healthcare experiences of American Indian elders in New Mexico, in order to develop and evaluate a tailored intervention to enhance knowledge of, access to, and use of insurance and available services to reduce healthcare disparities. This study includes qualitative and quantitative interviews combined with concept mapping and focus groups with American Indian elders and other key stakeholders.

Detailed description

This five-year project was developed by investigators from the Behavioral Health Research Center of the Southwest (BHRCS), a center of the Pacific Institute of Research and Evaluation (PIRE), the Health Committee of the New Mexico Indian Council on Aging (NMICoA), and the University of New Mexico (UNM). The project combines qualitative and quantitative interviews with concept-mapping (CM) techniques and focus groups to study insurance coverage, help-seeking behavior, and the healthcare experiences of American Indian Elders (AIEs) in New Mexico (NM). Practical knowledge grounded in the actual perspectives of AIEs and other key stakeholders may improve healthcare practices and policies for a population largely excluded from national and state discussions of health reform. The study data will also inform the adaptation and development of culturally tailored programming to enrich understanding and facilitate negotiation of a changing landscape of healthcare by AIEs. Our four specific aims are to: 1. Assess how AIEs understand, access, maintain, and use insurance coverage. 2. Characterize AIE help-seeking and healthcare experiences in dominant service delivery settings, i.e., Indian Health Service (IHS), tribally-run 638 facilities, and managed care programs. 3. Identify and compare factors that affect AIE access to health care as perceived by multiple stakeholders, i.e., AIEs, outreach workers (OWs), healthcare staff and providers, public sector administrators, and tribal leaders. 4. Develop and assess implementation feasibility of a structured intervention for OWs that promotes enhanced patient navigation, in addition to healthcare literacy, access, and usage among AIEs.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALSeasons of Care App

A web-based mobile application (app) called the Seasons of Care Elder Navigation Guide will assist elders, their families/caregivers, healthcare providers, outreach workers, and other community members in navigating healthcare and insurance systems. The app has the added advantage of being easy to update to respond to future changes in health care and insurance, and sustainable because it is not dependent on intensive training, developing, and retaining of individuals in professional navigation positions.

Participant flow

Recruitment details

We used reputational case selection to identify potential participants who were individuals who provided healthcare navigation services to Elders as part of their everyday work. We approached individuals or administrators at community organizations, healthcare facilities, and tribal agencies with an email or in-person description of the study and an invitation to participate. We followed up at each site with up to three emails, visits, or phone calls.

Pre-assignment details

Due to the complete closure of tribal communities during the COVID-19 pandemic, zero participants were enrolled and assigned in the American Indian Elders (AIEs) and Healthcare Providers/Staff Arms/Groups, respectively.

Navigators
AIE Navigators will use the Seasons of Care app in the context of their everyday outreach work with AIEs over two four-month intervention periods (P1 and P2). Their goal will be to facilitate health literacy to shift attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors to create a Culture of Coverage for AIEs at individual, organizational/community, and policy levels. Separated by distance, the AIE Navigators will receive coaching as necessary, using virtual meeting space, to help refine their implementation skills from a member of the research team with experience in AIE health outreach. Seasons of Care App: A web-based mobile application (app) called the Seasons of Care Elder Navigation Guide will assist elders, their families/caregivers, healthcare providers, outreach workers, and other community members in navigating healthcare and insurance systems.

Outcome results

Primary

User Evaluation Survey

A semi-structured, in-person interview (or focus group, depending on availability) with AIEs and healthcare providers who interacted with a navigator using the Seasons of Care app to assess experiences with, and effects of, the Seasons of Care app; suggestions to improve the Seasons of Care app

Time frame: Once at the end of P2 (Month 8 of 8)

Population: Due to the complete closure of tribal communities during the COVID-19 pandemic, no data were collected for this outcome measure.

Secondary

Navigator Pre- and Post-Evaluation Interview

A semi-structured, in-person interview comprised of open-ended questions to assess navigator's confidence and experiences with communicating health information to AIEs and healthcare providers; perceptions of the Seasons of Care app

Time frame: Month 1 and 4 (of 8) for P1 Navigators; Month 5 and 8 (of 8) for P2 Navigators

Population: Due to the complete closure of tribal communities during the COVID-19 pandemic, focus groups with AIEs and healthcare providers/staff were not completed. Three Navigators were unable to complete post-evaluation interviews due to changing responsibilities during the COVID-19 pandemic. One Navigator left their position before completing the post-evaluation interview.
