NCT ID NCT07538505
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will see if a program led by community health workers (CHWs) can help people with type 2 diabetes in rural and low-income clinics. About 200 Spanish-speaking Hispanic adults will attend monthly diabetes classes and get weekly check-ins from CHWs. The goal is to see if the program improves blood sugar control and is practical to keep running long-term.
