Multi-clinic Action Trial to Control Hyperglycemia and Hypertension

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

In brief

The MATCH2 Study (The Multi-clinic Action Trial to Control Hyperglycemia and Hypertension) is a randomized controlled trial comparing two educational approaches to improve glucose and blood pressure control in African American and Latino adults with type 2 diabetes. The study is being designed and implemented using a Community Based Participatory Research approach to optimize the two educational approaches. One approach, Enhanced Home Based Education, adapts a Community Health Worker (CHW) intervention from the protocol of the prior Mexican-American Trial of Community Health workers (MATCH). The other approach, Enhanced Clinic Based Education, uses a Certified Diabetes Educator (CDE) to deliver dietary and general self-management education. The study seeks to determine if Community Health Workers working as part of the primary care clinical team can reduce health disparities and improve outcomes among patients with type 2 diabetes.
