About this study

In plain language

This study tests whether support from a nurse care manager helps Black men with poorly controlled diabetes who have been in prison or jail. It will include 100 men and look at blood sugar, other health results, self-care, and quality of life after 6 months.

The study is a randomized control trial involving 100 participants (formerly incarcerated Black men with poorly controlled diabetes) to examine the effect of a tailored nurse case manager on glycemic control and other clinical outcomes, self-care behaviors, and quality of life at 6 months post-randomization.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
