Latinos Understanding the Need for Adherence in Diabetes

The components of the Special Intervention (SI) integrated design are: 1) Co-location of the clinical team; 2) Shared medical plan; 3) Clinical visits with a medical provider for management of chronic medical conditions; 4) Visits with behavioral health provider for management of psychosocial chronic conditions; 5) Care coordination; 6) Six group-health education classes and two booster sessions led by a promotora. Participants in the SI arm meet with the integrated care team in the context of a regular medical visit primarily to focus on clinical/biological aspects of the chronic medical conditions (diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, obesity, etc.)
