Review Meta Analysis
Community Health Worker Interventions to Improve Glycemic Control in People with Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
We set out to review the efficacy of Community Health Worker (CHW) interventions to improve glycemia in people with diabetes. ⋯ CHW interventions showed a modest reduction in A1c compared to usual care. A1c reduction was larger in studies with higher mean baseline A1c. Caution is warranted, given the small number of studies.
