NCT ID NCT06831162
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a program that helps adults with type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol address social needs like food, housing, and transportation. About 4,800 participants will be screened during primary care visits and offered support from providers, care coordinators, and community resources. Researchers will track changes in blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure over 12 months to see if the program improves health outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Multi-level health-related social needs initiative (screening, provider tools, care coordinator support, community referrals)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could show that addressing social needs in primary care helps control chronic conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-arm study with no comparison group, so improvements may be due to other factors. Results may not apply to other clinics or populations.
