Summary

This study tests whether screening diabetes patients for unmet social needs (like food, housing, or transportation) and connecting them to community resources can improve their health. It will involve 12,000 adults with diabetes in rural Kentucky. The goal is to see if this approach helps patients access services and manage their condition better.
