  • Community-Based Participatory Research Interventions to Improve Diabetes Outcomes: A Systematic Review. [Systematic Review]
    Diabetes Educ. 2020 Dec; 46(6):527-539.Campbell JA, Yan A, Egede LEDE
  • CONCLUSIONS: Of the 16 studies included for synthesis, 14 demonstrated statistically significant changes in A1C, fasting glucose, blood pressure, lipids, and quality of life. The majority of studies used community health workers (CHWs) to deliver interventions across group and individual settings and demonstrated significant reductions in diabetes outcomes. The evidence summarized in this review shows the pivotal role that CHWs and diabetes care and education specialists play in not only intervention delivery but also in the development of outward-facing diabetes care approaches that are person- and community-centered.
  • "Together We Can Return to Balance"-Eastern Woodlands Native Perspectives and Type 2 Diabetes: A Qualitative Study. [Journal Article]
    Diabetes Educ. 2020 Dec; 46(6):597-606.Sadlon P, Charron-Prochownik D, Sullivan-Bolyai SDE
  • CONCLUSIONS: This study identified themes from Native perspectives about T2DM self-management and about prospects that may mitigate incomplete knowledge and support. Integrating indigenous health and wellness knowledge with conventional principles of diabetes care presents several opportunities for nurses to advance diabetes self-management (DSM) education and support. Including Native health concepts when educating patients about DSM should be viewed as desirable for holistic family and community involvement that is central toward preventing disease progression.
