SCORE! Non-Physician Health Worker (NPHW) Implementation Protocol (SIP) (NCT06694987)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This study is a substudy of the Strenghtening Community Roots (SCORE!) Cohort study. The investigators will look for people, enrolled in the SCORE! Cohort study, with abnormal results related to blood sugar and fat, as well as high blood pressure and heart disease risks. The investigaors will try to help the community improve sugar, fat and blood pressure through trained people who are not necessarily a medical doctor but have health-sciences-training backgrounds. These people are called Non-Physician Health Workers (NPHW), and they will be under the direction of a medical doctor and will be also in close communication with the participants and the medical doctor to improve their health. This will happen through a total of 12 months, having online and on-site visits, for follow-up.
