REACH-Es: Adapting a Digital Health Tool to Improve Diabetes Medication Adherence Among Latino Adults

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 22 Jun 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Latino individuals, the fastest growing ethnic minority population in the United States, have a higher prevalence of type 2 diabetes and diabetes-related complications, and are more likely to report inconsistent use of diabetes medications than non-Hispanic White individuals. The proposed project will test an interactive text message-based tool tailored to address barriers to taking diabetes medications that are relevant to Latino adults. If found feasible, acceptable, and usable, this intervention could serve as a scalable tool to improve diabetes management and reduce diabetes-related complications among Latino adults in the United States.
