Scaling Telehealth Models to Improve Co-morbid Diabetes and Hypertension in Immigrant Populations (Phase II)

November 25, 2025 updated by: NYU Langone Health
The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness and implementation process of a culturally and contextually tailored telehealth-based community health workers (CHW) led coaching intervention for hypertension control among South Asian patients with co-morbid Diabetes Mellitus type II (DMII) and hypertension. The primary aims are to test the effectiveness of a CHW-led telehealth intervention compared to usual care, and using Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance (RE-AIM) and Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), examine the reach, adoption, fidelity, and maintenance of the intervention within clinical and community settings.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Community Health Workers (CHW) treatment group
There is a 6-month intervention period immediately following recruitment. Participants enrolled in the intervention will complete 5 educational sessions and attend 2 one-on-one virtual meetings.
Behavioral: Integrated CHW Intervention
Participants will undergo all 5 group-based health education sessions on hypertension and diabetes management and provide culturally and linguistically tailored health information and resources. There will be two one-on-one virtual meetings, up to 9 follow-up phone calls to engage in goal-setting activities regarding changes to health behaviors, medication adherence, or other issues related to diabetes prevention as identified jointly by patient and CHW. Participants will develop with the CHW and receive a copy of their long-term and short-term Participant Action Plan. Referrals to other services available in the community (i.e. exercise classes, social services, mental health, tobacco cessation, etc.
Active Comparator: Control group
The control participants will complete only the first educational session. The control arm will receive usual care from their primary care physician (PCP) during the first 12 months of data collection. After 12 months they will be invited to attend remaining group sessions.
Behavioral: CHW Session 1 Only
Participants will attend only the first group-based health education session on hypertension and diabetes management.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
