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.

Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

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.

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 mean

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

Active substance
Community health worker (CHW) social needs screening and referral program
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.
