Timeline
Interventions
The IMPaCT intervention has three stages: 1. Goal-setting: CHWs will help patients to deconstruct the chronic disease management goal they set with their PCP into patient-driven short-term goals and action plans. 2. Tailored Support: CHWs will conduct weekly follow-up for 6 months through either telephone or home visit in order to support the achievement of patients' short-term goals. 3. Connection with longitudinal support: IMPaCT CHWs will also facilitate a weekly patient support group.
