Diabetes Prevention for Black Men

Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Diabetes

In brief

Geographic analyses of diabetes burden have found that poor glycemic control, high rates of diabetes-related hospital utilization, and a high prevalence of microvascular diabetic complications all cluster in the same neighborhoods.This proposed study seeks to identify Black barbers with undiagnosed diabetes or prediabetes using point-of-care HbA1c testing, perform qualitative interviews to identify health behaviors that may explain poor sugar control, and develop a workplace-based food intervention to promote primary prevention and test its effect on sugar control in these individuals.
