Enhancing Diabetes Self-care Among Rural African Americans With Diabetes: Results of a Two-year Culturally Tailored Intervention
Conclusions
A community-based group DSME program using storytelling is feasible. This research will help to inform clinicians and health policymakers as to the types of interventions that are feasible in a larger rural population. If such a program is carried out, we can improve knowledge, reduce complications, and improve quality of life among rural African Americans.
