About this study

The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness and implementation process of a culturally and contextually tailored telehealth-based community health worker (CHW) led coaching intervention for hypertension control among South Asian patients with co-morbid Diabetes Mellitus type II (DMII) and hypertension. The primary aims are to test the effectiveness of a CHW-led telehealth intervention compared to usual care, and using Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance (RE-AIM) and Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), examine the reach, adoption, fidelity, and maintenance of the intervention within clinical and community settings.

Being tested
Integrated CHW Intervention, CHW Session 1 Only
Medical subject headings
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, Hypertension

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Integrated CHW InterventionBehavioural

    Participants will undergo all 5 group-based health education sessions on hypertension and diabetes management and provide culturally and linguistically tailored health information and resources. There will be two one-on-one virtual meetings, up to 9 follow-up phone calls to engage in goal-setting activities regarding changes to health behaviors, medication adherence, or other issues related to diabetes prevention as identified jointly by patient and CHW. Participants will develop with the CHW and receive a copy of their long-term and short-term Participant Action Plan. Referrals to other services available in the community (i.e. exercise classes, social services, mental health, tobacco cessation, etc.

  • CHW Session 1 OnlyBehavioural

    Participants will attend only the first group-based health education session on hypertension and diabetes management.

Community Health Workers (CHW) treatment groupExperimentalThere is a 6-month intervention period immediately following recruitment. Participants enrolled in the intervention will complete 5 educational sessions and attend 2 one-on-one virtual meetings.
Receives: Behavioral: Integrated CHW Intervention
Control groupActive comparatorThe control participants will complete only the first educational session. The control arm will receive usual care from their primary care physician (PCP) during the first 12 months of data collection. After 12 months they will be invited to attend remaining group sessions.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percent of participants achieving BP control, defined as <130/80 mmHg

    The primary outcome will be the proportion of eligible patients at a practice site to achieve BP control (130/80 mmHg) at six months.

    Measured: Month 6

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Percent of participants achieving BP control, defined as <130/80 mmHg

    The primary outcome will be the proportion of eligible patients at a practice site to achieve BP control (130/80 mmHg) at twelve months.

    Measured: Month 12

  2. Change from Baseline in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels at Month 6

    Change in HbA1c will be measured in participants of CHW intervention versus the control participants. Clinical data will be retrieved from EHR.

    Measured: Baseline, Month 6

  3. Change from Baseline in HbA1c levels at Month 12

    Change in HbA1c will be measured in participants of CHW intervention versus the control participants. Clinical data will be retrieved from EHR.

    Measured: Baseline, Month 12

  4. Change from Baseline in Body mass index (BMI) at Month 6

    Change in BMI will be measured in participants of CHW intervention versus the control participants. Clinical data will be retrieved from EHR.

    Measured: Baseline, Month 6

  5. Change from Baseline in BMI at Month 12

    Change in BMI will be measured in participants of CHW intervention versus the control participants. Clinical data will be retrieved from EHR.

    Measured: Baseline, Month 12

  6. Change from Baseline in Systolic blood pressure (SBP) at Month 6

    Change in SBP will be measured in participants of CHW intervention versus the control participants. Clinical data will be retrieved from EHR.

    Measured: Baseline, Month 6

  7. Change from Baseline in SBP at Month 12

    Change in SBP will be measured in participants of CHW intervention versus the control participants. Clinical data will be retrieved from EHR.

    Measured: Baseline, Month 12

  8. Change from Baseline in Diastolic blood pressure (DBP) at Month 6

    Change in DBP will be measured in participants of CHW intervention versus the control participants. Clinical data will be retrieved from EHR.

    Measured: Baseline, Month 6

  9. Change from Baseline in DBP at Month 12

    Change in DBP will be measured in participants of CHW intervention versus the control participants. Clinical data will be retrieved from EHR.

    Measured: Baseline, Month 12
