First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated Jun 05, 2026 · Updated 36 times

Summary

This study tests whether an enhanced community health worker program helps 500 Philadelphia residents aged 35-75 better manage heart disease risks like diabetes and high blood pressure. Participants will either get extra group sessions and one-on-one help with social needs (like housing or food) or continue with standard services. The goal is to see if the extra support improves self-management skills and resolves social needs.
