Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The participant will be contacted by a member of the research team at 7 days post discharge to ask about their transition back to the community. The participant will be contacted via phone and it is anticipated that it will take approximately 10 minutes. Participants will also be provided with an email option for the intervention, if they prefer. These questions will ask about hospital admission, satisfaction with hospital services and discharge planning. The participant will also be asked if they require any additional supports, and will be assisted by connecting them with the appropriate resources. Examples of support or resources that may be provided to participants include information about where to seek support for smoking cessation, 24/7 pharmacies to purchase prescribed medications and mental health support hotlines. Adherence to the intervention will be measured at the 30 day follow up by research staff.
