Hispanic caregivers' experience of pediatric type 1 diabetes: a qualitative study.
It is widely recognized that Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) outcomes are worse among Hispanic children; however, little is published about the perspectives of these patients and their caregivers. The intent of this study was to characterize the lived experience of Hispanic caregivers of children with T1D, focusing on the role of language and culture and their perspectives on current medical care and alternative care models.

Effect of a culturally adapted behavioral intervention for Latino adults on weight loss over 2 years: a randomized clinical trial.
Identifying effective weight loss interventions for Latino adults at risk of diabetes is of critical public health importance. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a culturally adapted behavioral intervention for Latino adults was more effective than usual care for weight loss over 24 months. The investigators concluded that among Latino adults with high diabetes risk, a culturally adapted behavioral lifestyle intervention was effective for weight loss over 12 months but not 24 months.

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.

Apathy and type 2 diabetes among American Indians: exploring the protective effects of traditional cultural involvement.
In this study researchers examined relationships between traditional cultural factors, apathy, and health-related outcomes among a sample of American Indian adults with type 2 diabetes. Their model revealed significant direct effects from cultural participation to apathy, and apathy to both health-related outcomes. Cultural participation had a negative indirect effect through apathy on high blood sugar and positive indirect effects on health-related quality of life.
