Sponsor's own description

This study will determine the feasibility and effectiveness of using a mobile-based social services screening and referral tool in an urban pediatric Emergency Department (ED). Families will be offered the option to either download the tool, known as HelpSteps, as a mobile application ("app") on a personal cell phone or to use the app on a provided tablet. After leading the family through a brief social needs screening survey, HelpSteps will recommend local social service agencies based on identified needs and location. Families will then complete a brief survey on the ease of use of the tool as well as receive a follow-up call to ask about usefulness of the tool in solving social problems. The investigators will also ask physicians to fill out a brief survey about the use of the tool in the ED.
