   <mods:abstract>Diabetes Care in American Samoa (DCAS) was a randomized controlled trial of a 12-month community health worker (CHW)-facilitated intervention which demonstrated improved HbA1c levels compared to usual care. These results add to growing evidence supporting the role of CHWs in diabetes care. However, most CHW programs are time-limited, and few pursue long-term follow-up of participants. Little is known about whether short-term CHW programs achieve sustained improvements in diabetes control over time. We hypothesized that HbA1c would increase over time in the experimetal group of DCAS after CHW intervention completion. In the waitlist usual care group, which received the intervention at the end of DCAS, we expected HbA1c to decrease during the intervention and increase after completion</mods:abstract>
