TL;DR
Combined NCM/CHW interventions may improve diabetic control in urban African Americans with type 2 diabetes and deserves further attention as a means to reduce the excess risk of diabetic complications in African Americans.
Abstract
Combined NCM/CHW interventions may improve diabetic control in urban African Americans with type 2 diabetes. Although results were clinically important, they did not reach statistical significance. This approach deserves further attention as a means to reduce the excess risk of diabetic complications in African Americans.
