Feasibility of a Church-Based, CHW-Delivered Diabetes and SDOH Intervention in a Hispanic Community: A Quasi-Experimental Study

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to assess the feasibility of a church-based, community health worker (CHW)-led intervention designed to identify and address social determinants of health (SDOH) inequities in a Hispanic community at risk for diabetes. The study found that the program significantly improved healthcare access and diabetes self-management among participants, demonstrating the potential for effective partnerships with Hispanic churches to tackle health disparities.
