Healing Through Education, Advocacy and Law (HEAL) in Response to Violence

This is a 3-year comparative effectiveness study funded by the Patient Centered Outcomes
Research Institute (PCORI) and will test an adapted priority-based patient navigation versus
care as usual among 300 survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) recruited from, and/or
referred from, University of Rochester Medical Center providers. The goal is to improve
patient safety, depression, and health function over the course of 12 months. In the
Community Health Worker -Personalized Support for Progress (CHW-PSP) arm, created and tested
in our first UR PCORI grant, in addition to meeting with a social worker, patients will work
with a Community Health Worker (CHW) to complete a prioritization tool and meet as needed
over the course of the next 6 months to navigate services and overcome barriers. In addition,
patients will receive referrals to other professionals based on their prioritization and meet
with the CHW at the time and place of their choice. Patients in the Care as Usual- Social
Worker (CAU-SW) arm, will do intake with a social worker, who follows hospital procedures for
intake and referrals, does a needs assessment, and offers safety planning in referral.
