What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published

Summary

This study tested a set of strategies to help community health centers routinely identify and act on social needs (like food or housing insecurity) for patients with or at risk for diabetes. Researchers used a tool built into electronic health records to collect this information. The study involved 31 participants and measured how often social risk screening and referrals occurred before, during, and after the intervention.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
SDH Tool (a tool embedded in electronic health records to collect and act on social needs data)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help clinics routinely identify and address social factors like food or housing insecurity, potentially improving diabetes management.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed implementation study with only 31 participants, so results may not apply broadly. It focuses on data collection, not direct health outcomes.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Any persons who are at risk for type 2 diabetes * May include some subjects with mental health conditions of various types; however, it is important to systematically address high DM /obesity risk in this population, because such patients may be at risk for elevated high DM /obesity risk and have often been excluded or underrepresented in previous research studies. * Decisionally/cognitively impaired * Economically/educationally disadvantaged * Non-English Speakers * Elderly Exclusion Criteria: * Neonates of uncertain viability or nonviable neonates (up to 28 days post birth) * Prisoners Note: The investigators are not enrolling patients for this clinic-randomized study, but rather studying the uptake and impact of a set of EHR-based clinical decision support tools into regular care at the participating clinics. In this clinic-randomized trial, the intervention / randomization are clinic level. The intervention targets clinic processes that are part of the regular care patients receive, and will not require special visits.
