Diabetes               is               one               of               the               most               serious               health               problems               facing               the               African-American               population               in               today's               society.

The               American               Diabetes               Association               says               that               Type               2               diabetes               is               more               common               among               African               Americans,               Native               Americans,               Latinos,               Asian-Americans               and               the               aging               population               in               this               country.

In               fact,               at               least               3.2               million               African               Americans               over               the               age               of               20               have               the               disease.

According               to               the               ADA,               African               Americans               are               1.8               times               more               likely               to               develop               diabetes               than               non-Hispanic               whites.

With               the               influx               of               information               flooding               the               market               consistently,               it               is               easy               for               much               of               it               to               pass               over               those               most               at               risk               for               the               disease.

However,               a               new               study               shows               that               when               diabetes               awareness               and               prevention               programs               are               culturally               sensitive,               they               have               the               most               impact,               specifically               on               the               African-American               population.
               James               Herbert               Williams,               Ph.D,               conducted               the               study               entitled,               "Cultural               Relevancy               of               a               Diabetes               Prevention               Program               for               African               American               Women."               It               was               co-authored               by               a               team               that               included               Wendy               Auslander,               Ph.D.,               professor               of               social               work;               Mary               de               Groot,               Ph.D.,               assistant               professor               of               psychology               at               Ohio               University;               Cheryl               Houston,               Ph.D.,               associate               professor               in               the               Department               of               Human               Environmental               Sciences               at               Fontbonne               University;               Debra               Haire-Joshu,               Ph.D.,               professor               of               community               health               at               Saint               Louis               University               and               Adjoa               Dionne               Robinson,               Ph.D.,               research               assistant               at               Portland               State               University.
               Williams               works               in               the               George               Warren               Brown               School               of               Social               Work,               as               the               E.

Desmond               Lee               Professor               of               Racial               and               Ethnic               Diversity.

He               says               that               the               programs               work               more               efficiently               when               they               take               into               consideration               the               cultural               differences               that               perpetuate               the               disease               among               targeted               populations.

"At               the               very               least,               (such               programs)               need               to               consider               the               traditional               foods               and               recipes               of               the               participants,"               Williams               said               in               the               study.

"Programs               for               African-American               women               that               are               developed               with               Afrocentric               values               and               culture               in               mind               lead               to               greater               program               satisfaction               for               the               participants               and               significant               changes               in               eating               habits."
               One               aspect               of               Williams'               study               was               an               intensive               look               at               the               "Eat               Well               Live               Well               Nutrition               Program."               The               program,               which               is               community-based,               focuses               on               the               development               of               a               diabetes-prevention               program               for               African-American               women.

It               is               a               peer-led               group               that               is               specifically               targeted               at               reducing               the               risk               of               getting               Type               2               diabetes               in               African-American               women,               particularly               those               who               live               in               low-income               communities.
               Williams               says               that               the               program,               and               others               like               it,               are               key               to               getting               the               attention               of               African-American               at               risk               for               the               disease.

This               is               because               they               address               specific               cultural               dietary               habits               of               the               culture.

"This               program               was               developed               with               substantive               input               from               the               community,"               said               Williams.

"Participants               helped               shape               teaching               approaches               and               defined               relevant               course               material.

A               group               of               women               from               the               community               also               trained               to               become               peer               educators               for               the               Eat               Well               Live               Well               Nutrition               Program               in               their               community."
               For               the               study,               Williams               looked               at               152               African-American               women               going               through               the               Eat               Well               Live               Well               Nutrition               Program.

The               demographics               of               those               women               were               very               much               like               the               demographics               of               the               general               African-American               female               population.

They               were               interviewed               before               they               entered               the               program,               when               they               completed               it               and               six               months               after               completion.

The               women               gave               Williams               feedback               on               the               program,               with               comments               like:               "The               program               helped               me               to               feel               good               about               how               I               am               as               a               black               woman"               and               "My               peer               educator               was               familiar               with               the               type               of               food               that               people               in               my               community               eat."
               African-American               women               can               control               their               risk               for               getting               type-2               diabetes               by               maintaining               a               consistent               diet               and               exercise               program.

However,               Williams               says               that               programs               aimed               at               supporting               African-Americans               struggling               with               or               trying               to               prevent               diabetes,               should               take               into               consideration               the               specific               eating               habits               and               foods               eaten               by               African-American               populations.

"African-American               disease               prevalence               and               mortality               from               dietary-related               diseases               are               disproportionately               high.

Although               many               factors               may               contribute               to               this,               such               as               socioeconomic               status,               a               lack               of               appropriate               services               contributes               to               this               epidemic,"               he               said.

"It               is               important               to               include               culturally               relevant               strategies               based               on               Afrocentric               principles               to               achieve               the               most               effective               program               results."
               The               study               was               produced               with               funding               by               the               National               Institute               of               Diabetes               &               Digestive               &               Kidney               Diseases               and               the               Office               of               Minority               Health               Research               Coordination.
