Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

This study evaluates the effectiveness of community health workers when added to routine care for patients with diabetes and high blood pressure in rural clinics in Chiapas, Mexico. It does so by recording information on adherence to therapy, blood pressure and hemoglobin A1c while a non-governmental organization working in Mexico trains and introduces a community health worker program.
