We examined diabetes management practices among Hispanics, Blacks, and 3 Asian American subgroups in New York City. Compared with Blacks and Hispanics, all 3 Asian American subgroups had lower average rates of diabetes management practices. Compared with Blacks, Chinese and Koreans were significantly less likely to participate in all diabetes management behaviors and practices, whereas Asian Indians were significantly less likely to perform feet checks or undergo an eye examination. Results demonstrated the need for health care provider interventions and training to support diabetes management among Asian Americans.
我们研究了纽约市西班牙裔、黑人以及3个亚裔美国人群体的糖尿病管理情况。与黑人和西班牙裔相比，所有3个亚裔美国人群体的糖尿病管理平均水平较低。与黑人相比，华裔和韩裔参与所有糖尿病管理行为和措施的可能性显著更低，而印度裔进行足部检查或接受眼部检查的可能性显著更低。结果表明，需要医疗服务提供者进行干预和培训，以支持亚裔美国人的糖尿病管理。
