Impact of a Housing and Health Focused Residency Curriculum on Community Health Worker Utilization for Unmet Housing Needs.
Article in Journal of primary care & community health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION/
objectivesStable housing is a well-recognized health-related social need (HRSN) with little attention in medical training. This study examined the efficacy of a resident housing curriculum on referrals to a Community Health Worker (CHW) intervention to assist patients with unmet housing needs.
methodsThis was a retrospective cohort study conducted on Internal Medicine residents at a large urban residency program in Bronx, NY. We utilized multivariate mixed-effects logistic regression to determine whether clinician curriculum exposure increased CHW referrals among patients who self-reported housing needs in a HRSN screening tool between July 2021 and August 2024.
resultsNine hundred six unique patients screened positive for unmet housing needs, and 303 (33.4%) patients were referred to CHWs by eligible clinicians (n = 118). Clinician exposure to the curriculum was not a significant predictor of CHW referrals (aOR = 1.03, 95% CI = 0.69-1.54), adjusting for covariates. Patient age (aOR = 0.98, 95% CI = 0.97-0.99), Spanish language (aOR = 1.65, 95% CI = 1.09-2.51), and Medicaid coverage (aOR = 1.61, 95% CI = 1.03-2.51) were associated with likelihood of referral.
conclusionsOur findings demonstrate that the curriculum did not increase CHW referrals. Multimodal educational and systemic interventions that support the use of existing workflows may be needed to increase uptake of interventions to address HRSNs.
