Examining unmet basic needs and healthcare gaps among Medicaid beneficiaries with Type 2 diabetes
This study was funded by the WU-CDTR pilot and feasibility program in 20… The project proposes a basic needs-focused navigation intervention designed to resolve needs to improve health behaviors and health outcomes among adults with type 2 diabetes, compared to usual care. This study will demonstrate our ability to identify type 2 diabetics from clinical data within a Medicaid-managed care population, reach them by phone, and engage them in research.
