Healthy Communities Through CHW Initiatives

Running, not enrolling · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, Diabetes Mellitus Risk

In brief

Latino(a)s suffer from poor social determinants of health (SODH) conditions more than non-minority populations, and being a minority is risk factor alone for diabetes. In the proposed study, investigators will assist church members in becoming Community Health Workers (CHWs), train them in diabetes, and to track the ability to address healthcare access and quality barriers using an online platform.
