What this research studies
If you are a Black man with diabetes who was recently released from jail or prison, a nurse case manager would work with you to connect you to medications, clinics, and social supports during reentry. The nurse would provide flexible, community-based support by phone, in-person, or at convenient locations outside traditional clinics. The team will track health markers like blood sugar and blood pressure and follow care visits to see if the support helps people stay healthy after release. The goal is to adapt nurse case management to meet the unique needs of men returning from incarceration so they face fewer barriers to diabetes care.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Black men with diabetes who have been recently released from jail or prison and are willing to work with a nurse case manager are the ideal candidates.
Not a fit: People without diabetes, individuals who were not recently incarcerated, or those unwilling to engage with a nurse case manager are unlikely to benefit from this project.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could improve blood sugar control and continuity of care after release, lowering the risk of complications and hospital visits.
How similar studies have performed: Nurse case management has improved diabetes outcomes in other groups and flexible community models have helped Black men with hypertension, but there are few tested interventions specifically for people returning from incarceration.
