Rationale and study protocol for Unidas por la Vida (United for Life): a dyadic weight-loss intervention for high-risk Latina mothers and their adult daughters.
The intervention aims to improve health behaviors and promote weight loss in two at-risk members of the same family: mothers with type 2 diabetes and their overweight/obese adult daughters who are at risk for developing diabetes. Both the dyadic and individual lifestyle interventions are expected to produce greater weight loss at 6, 12, and 18 months than those in minimal intervention control group.

A Latino patient-centered, evidence-based approach to diabetes prevention.
Cultural tailoring of evidence-based diabetes prevention program (DPP) interventions is needed to effectively address obesity and its related chronic diseases among Latinos in primary care. This article described the patient-centered process used to adapt the DPP and reported cultural adaptations. The investigators concluded that the 2-stage approach actively engaging patients, family members, providers, and health care system leaders reinforced the cultural congruence of the existing intervention while further strengthening it with adaptations promoting Latino family and community support.

Disparities in diabetes care quality by English language preference in community health centers.
Researchers conducted a parallel analysis of disparities in diabetes care quality among Latino and Asian community health center (CHC) patients by English language preference. After adjusting for socioeconomic and health characteristics, disparities in patient experiences by English language preference were found only among Asian patients. There were no significant differences in glycemic control by language for either Latino or Asian patients.

Bridging the digital divide: mobile access to personal health records among patients with diabetes.
The authors examined personal health record (PHR) use through a computer-based Web browser or mobile device. They found that mobile-ready PHRs may increase access among patients facing a digital divide in computer use, disproportionately reaching racial/ethnic minorities and lower socioeconomic status patients. They recommend continued efforts to increase equitable access to PHRs among patients with chronic conditions.

Perceived barriers and preferred components for physical activity interventions in African-American survivors of breast or endometrial cancer with type 2 diabetes: the S.U.C.C.E.S.S. framework.
The study’s objectives were to explore the perspectives of African American survivors with type 2 diabetes on perceived barriers to physical activity (PA) and preferences for a PA intervention and develop a framework for a PA program after cancer treatment. Nine themes were identified that focused on post-treatment physical symptoms. The S.U.C.C.E.S.S. framework summarizes the survivors' preferences for effective lifestyle interventions such as supporting efforts to maintain PA.
