Abstract

Most published data on ethnic variations in diabetes care and outcomes come from the United States, and their generalizability to inform clinical care and policy making in Canada is limited. As a result, the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences (ICES) has conducted several studies examining the burden of diabetes for and the quality of care received by visible minority populations in Ontario compared with the general population.

摘要

大多数已发表的关于糖尿病护理和治疗结果种族差异的数据来自美国，其对为加拿大的临床护理和政策制定提供参考的普遍适用性有限。因此，临床评估科学研究所（ICES）开展了多项研究，以考察安大略省少数族裔人群与普通人群相比的糖尿病负担及接受的护理质量。
