About this trial
The goal of this randomized intervention study is to learn about effective health literacy teaching methods in Justice Involved Adults (JIA).
Researchers will compare coach-guided health literacy or self-study design to see if there is a difference in the access and use of healthcare in this population.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Will this improve access and use of heath services? * Will this improve health insurance coverage and long term use of health services?
Participants will:
* Meet with a health coach and service navigator during 12 sessions or meet with service navigator and complete online training over 12 weeks. * Complete surveys at different time (6months, 1 year)
