Community Partnership to Examine Racial and Ethnic Differences in Health Care for Hypertension and Diabetes

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Hypertension, Diabetes Mellitis

In brief

Hypertension and diabetes are among the most common chronic diseases in the United States. Racial and ethnic minority groups are more at risk for these diseases than the Caucasian population. This study will attempt to identify factors that contribute to racial and ethnic differences in hypertension and diabetes care among minority patients of community health centers (CHCs). This information will be used to design and implement programs to improve quality of care in these communities.
