Community Health Workers Reduce Social Barriers That Affect the Health of Patients With High Blood Pressure and Diabetes.
Community Health Workers Systematically Assessing and Addressing Social Determinants of Health to Improve Outcomes in Community Health Centers (CHW-SYSTIM)
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 9 Jul 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The goal of this mixed-methods study is to assess the impact of a Community Health Worker (CHW)-led social risk screening and referral in improving management of uncontrolled diabetes (DM) and hypertension (HTN) among patients receiving care in community health centers (CHCs or health centers). The intervention is focused on adult health center patients with uncontrolled DM and/or HTN. Study findings will provide important evidence to guide CHCs in implementing programs to address social risks in their patient populations. Findings will illuminate whether and how CHW-led interventions to address social needs yield the hypothesized outcomes. The aims of the study are: * AIM 1: Measure how effective the CHW-led social risk program is at reducing blood sugar levels (A1C) in CHC patients with uncontrolled DM and lowering blood pressure in CHC patients with uncontrolled HTN. * AIM 2: Identify effective strategies for increasing and expanding CHW-led social risk programs.
