WE CARE Study for Chronic Diseases and Social Needs

This study, called WE CARE, is looking at whether a special program can help people with chronic diseases like high cholesterol (hyperlipidemias), diabetes, depression, and high blood pressure (hypertension), as well as children with asthma. The program, called the WE CARE SDOH System, helps connect families to resources that address social needs, like housing or food, with a focus on fairness for all races. Researchers want to see if this program, compared to standard care, can reduce health problems and lessen health differences among different racial and ethnic groups. You might be able to join if you are an adult or child with one of these chronic diseases and receive care at a study clinic. The study will measure blood pressure to see if the program is successful. The current status of the study is unclear.
