Evaluating Telementoring for CHW-centered Diabetes Initiatives
Sponsor: The University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston
Summary
Diabetes care is complex and requires a multidimensional approach, but interventional programs are difficult to initiate in low-income and minority populations. In the proposed study, investigators will mentor local clinics via telehealth to initiate our diabetes program involving telehealth-support, integrated CHWs, medication-access, and diabetes Education into their clinics. Mentoring local clinics to initiate this intervention is a promising strategy to enhance sustainable diabetes care and reduce disparities in vulnerable minority populations.
