Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Materials and methods: the study is a randomized controlled trial conducted in a primary care unit. Eight CHW, providing care for 118 patients, are randomized in two groups to receive a one-month diabetes education program (intervention group, patients n= 62) or an education course in other health issues (control group, patients n= 56). Each CHW is responsible for transmitting the acquired knowledge to patients from their respective working areas. The primary outcome is change in HbA1C three months after intervention.
