Clinical partners will execute data-sharing agreements enabling the research team to identify eligible children and caregivers and conduct outreach via text messaging. CBO partners will deliver BHF and provide de-identified data for program evaluation. Community Implementation Teams (CITs) will complete training, surveys, interviews, learning collaborative activities, fidelity assessments, and time tracking as part of quality improvement. The BHF Action Learning Collaborative will use quarterly sessions and Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles to address recruitment, implementation, sustainability, social determinants of health, and team coordination.

Families will be identified through EHR records and mailed a consent and authorization cover l…
