Summary
This study checks if a program called COPE helps Navajo people with diabetes and related health problems. The program uses community health workers to support patients and connect them with doctors. Researchers compared nearly 29,000 people who took part in COPE with those who did not, looking at changes in blood sugar, blood pressure, and other health measures over two years.
