Participant engagement in a community health worker-delivered intervention and type 2 diabetes clinical outcomes: a quasiexperimental study in MexicanAmericans.

Objectives

This study helps to fill the existing research gap related to participant engagement in behavioural interventions and diabetes management.

The programme complemented clinical care and promoted behaviour changes to improve diabetes self-management.

Setting

The study was implemented in the Rio Grande Valley region in the USA. Recruitment was conducted in clinics and community events. All other visits were provided in participant homes and community locations.
