200 participantsStarted 2026-06

Plain-language summary

The goal of this study is to evaluate a Community Health Worker (CHW) program for people living with diabetes in rural areas or locations that are remote from the research team. The study aims to answer the following questions: 1. Does the CHW program improve diabetes-related health outcomes, such as blood sugar control? 2. What is the sustainability of the program? 3. Is the program feasible and acceptable? Participants will be invited to attend monthly diabetes education classes led by CHWs and receive weekly mobile health check-ins from CHWs for coaching and to help coordinate care with their clinic team.
