Family behaviors and type 2 diabetes: what to target and how to address in interventions for adults with low socioeconomic status.
The researchers studied adults with type 2 diabetes at a Federally Qualified Health Center to better understand experiences with diabetes-specific family behaviors and willingness to engage family members in diabetes interventions. They found that some participants (40 percent) said engaging family in interventions would positively affect all members; others (27 percent) did not want to involve family.

Persistent differences in asthma self-efficacy by race, ethnicity, and income in adults with asthma.
The objective of this population-based study was to determine if and to what extent there are differences in asthma self-efficacy by race/ethnicity and income, and whether health status, levels of acculturation, and health care factors may explain these differences. It found that racial/ethnic minorities and individuals living in poverty have the lowest levels of asthma self-efficacy.
