Health workers tackle social barriers to control diabetes and blood pressure
NCT ID NCT06926855
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether community health workers (CHWs) who screen patients for social needs like food, housing, or transportation and connect them to resources can improve blood sugar and blood pressure control. About 3,120 adults with uncontrolled diabetes or hypertension from community health centers will take part. The goal is to see if this approach leads to better health outcomes and to learn how to expand such programs.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that addressing social needs like food or housing helps people better manage diabetes and high blood pressure in community health centers.
What could go wrong
This is a large but early-stage study testing a complex program, so results may vary across clinics. The intervention depends on local resources and patient engagement, which could limit its impact.
