This study tests the feasibility of a multi-sector tribally-operated data system and dashboard for documenting health and social service needs and service referrals among youth members of the Coeur d-Alene tribe. The integrated data system is designed to achieve data sovereignty and improve timeliness and coordination in the delivery of health and social services for the tribal youth population, thereby dismantling forms of structural racism and inequity created by reliance on fragmented non-tribal service delivery and financing systems.

This study investigates whether a novel type of social bond can pool resources across multiple competing health plans and create stable, long-term financing for interventions that address social determinants of health. The bond's design would allow multiple health plans participating in Minnesota’s Medicaid program to invest collectively in a fund that finances community-based interventions targeting social issues such as food insecurity, housing instability, transportation, and structural racism.

This study, funded as part of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Systems for Action research program, will pilot test a school-embedded Point-of-Service (POS) coordination system designed to align medical care, public health, and social service systems for children and families in the historically Black Homewood neighborhood of Pittsburgh. The intervention seeks to dismantle systemic racism that manifests as fragmented systems with administrative burdens that routinely delay or deny care for Black families.
