Can community health workers help rural patients control diabetes?
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.
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-led diabetes education and coaching program
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that a community health worker program is a practical way to help people in rural areas better manage their diabetes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small feasibility study, not a large trial. It may not prove the program improves health outcomes, and results may not apply to other populations.
