Balance design, setting, and population
Balance was conducted within Piedmont Health Services, Inc. (PHS), a network of 10 Federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) within central North Carolina, many of which are located in rural areas. Each site offers a core set of primary care services that are available in English or Spanish and on a sliding-fee scale basis, with additional site-specific services to address local community needs.Balance study protocols and intervention components have previously been described in-depth elsewhere.
