RECRUITING

Project 2: ACHIEVE- HF

Description

This project is part of the ACHIEVE GREATER (Addressing Cardiometabolic Health In Populations Through Early PreVEntion in the GREAT LakEs Region) Center (IRB 100221MP2A), the purpose of which is to reduce cardiometabolic health disparities in two cities: Detroit, Michigan, and Cleveland, Ohio. The ACHIEVE GREATER Center involves four separate but related projects that aim to mitigate health disparities in risk factor control for three chronic conditions, hypertension (HTN, Project 1), heart failure (HF, Projects 2 and 4) and coronary heart disease (CHD, Project 3). The first three projects will involve the use of Community Health Workers (CHWs) to deliver an evidence-based practice intervention program called PAL2. Projects 1-3 also utilize the PAL2 Implementation Intervention (PAL2-II), which is a set of structured training and evaluation strategies designed to optimize CHW competence and adherence (i.e., fidelity) to the PAL2 intervention program. The present study is Project 2 of the ACHIEVE GREATER Center.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • 1. Previous diagnosis of HF
  • 2. Uncontrolled diabetes (HbA1C ≥8.0% from SOC screening labs)
  • 3. Chronic use of insulin or \>1 anti-diabetic medication
  • 4. Self-reported pregnancy (or planning to become pregnant in the next year)
  • 5. Severely uncontrolled BP at screening visits (SBP ≥180 mm Hg and/or diastolic BP ≥110 mmHg)
  • 6. Point of care (POC) BNP measurement ≥400 ng/L. If POC BNP was not obtained, then NTproBNP ≥ 1000 ng/L from screening labs will be excluded.
  • 7. eGFR \<45 ml/min/sq-m on SOC screening labs
