Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a multi-level approach to improve diabetes control via access to social service supports and online, culturally-tailored diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) videos among a community of primarily Chinese and Latino/a immigrants. The study aims to assess patient uptake, provider adoption, and INSPIRE program acceptability, appropriateness, feasibility, fidelity, penetration/reach, and maintenance.
Detailed description
In stage 1, the 8 family health center (FHC) clinics will be randomized 1:1 into Experimental Cohort A, which will receive the Community Health Worker (CHW)-enabled community-clinic linkage model (CCL) or Control Cohort B, with FHCs that will not receive the CHW-enabled CCL. Then, in stage 2, patients in clinics that received the CHW-enabled CCL will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to Arm A who will receive text-based mhealth diabetes education videos or Arm B who will not receive mhealth.
Interventions
The FHCs has access to the CHW-enabled CCL. With this intervention, participants will be screened for social determinants of health (SDoH) and be referred to care and social services that address any identified needs.
Participants will receive 24 culturally tailored DSMES videos through text message.
