Effectiveness of and Implementation Strategies for 'Disfrutando': A Culturally Tailored, Bundled Intervention to Address Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in High-burden Populations

Summary

Despite much research that has focused on enhancing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) health outcomes for high burden populations, more remains to be done. There is a need to develop practical approaches that not only equip people with knowledge about T2DM self-management, but also help them mitigate the adverse social determinants of health (SDOH) that are fueling the burgeoning numbers of people in the United States with T2DM and that are preventing them from practicing healthful behaviors. This study will examine an intervention named 'Disfrutando' that strives to help people prevent and manage T2DM.
