Race and Referral to Diabetes Education in Primary Care Patients With Prediabetes and Diabetes
Conclusions
Being African American independently increased the likelihood of referral for diabetes education in patients with prediabetes and patients with diabetes. After adjusting for patient comorbidities and risk factors, this association remained significant for patients with prediabetes. Additional research is needed to determine if provider beliefs and attitudes regarding race and diabetes education account for this association.
