Abstract

After reading the abstract what do you expect to learn from the article?

The differences in how adults of Asian descent manage their diabetes in comparison with other ethnic groups and what this means for clinicians.

What are the best ways for diabetes to be prevented in the New York City Korean health community, given the data already gathered about this community.

What are the major risk factors for getting diabetes

in four major Asian communities and

what does this indicate about lifestyle and prevention?

The purpose of the study is to determine if there are any advantages or disadvantages in the ways that Asian Americans manage their diabetes in comparison with other ethnic groups. This study can help determine if theres anything to be learned from this group or if theres anything that they need to improve upon. The scope of the study was targeted to sampling all racial/ethnic minorities on the diabetes management behavior. The rationale was to ideally find ways that individuals could improve on their diabetes management and essentially save money for the healthcare industry while reducing mortalities. The research question sought to compare how diabetes management practices for Asian Americans compared to other ethnic or racial groups. Management is one of the major concepts defined. There is not a literature review provided.

The purpose of the study is to determine why Asian Americans get diabetes more than non-Hispanic whites and if theres anything that can be done within lifestyle changes or the greater medical community to thwart this. The scope of the study revolves around the feasibility of a

pilot Community Health Worker (CHW) intervention to make the health related actions better of Korean Americans through the means of a randomized and controlled trial. The main concepts examined in this study were

things like clinical measurements, BMI, health behaviors, self-efficacy, and health access.

A review of literature is not provided.

The purpose of the study is to determine the rate of

Diabetes along with pre-diabetes conditions, and the

Vulnerability to getting diabetes for individuals who

Have BMI indexes higher than 23, in four distinct Asian-

American collectives. The more that clinicians

understand such risk factors the more this condition

will be preventable. Its also beneficial for the overall

science and healthcare community to understand factors

unique to Asian American communities that have an

influence or risk factor towards diabetes.

The concepts used are things like BMI, along with

hemoglobin A1c (HbAlc), pre-diabetes, and waist

circumference.

A review of literature is not provided.
