The Caribbean diaspora in the United States is a diverse community that is afflicted with high morbidity and mortality due to preventable chronic diseases.
Our goal is to determine which culturally sensitive health and nutrition educational modalities have the highest efficacy for improving general health in the Caribbean diaspora.
A scoping literature review was performed on the MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Web of Science databases using terms related to health and nutrition in the Caribbean population. Original, peer-reviewed research published from 2010 to 2020, which took place in the U.S. and Caribbean countries, were included in our review.
We identified a total of nine articles that met our inclusion criteria. Rate differences for individual education program features were calculated to assess the likelihood of a positive impact on diet, physical activity, and diabetes.
Our review helps to identify key educational modalities targeting diabetes, diet, and physical activity levels that can be used to meet the health and nutritional needs of the Caribbean diaspora population.

我们旨在确定哪些具有文化敏感性的健康和营养教育模式在改善加勒比裔散居群体的整体健康方面最有效。
我们在 MEDLINE、CINAHL 和 Web of Science 数据库上进行了范围广泛的文献综述，使用了与加勒比人群体健康和营养相关的术语。我们的综述纳入了 2010 年至 2020 年期间在美国和加勒比国家进行的原创同行评审研究。
我们共确定了符合纳入标准的 9 篇文章。计算了个别教育计划特征的比率差异，以评估其对饮食、身体活动和糖尿病产生积极影响的可能性。
我们的综述有助于确定针对糖尿病、饮食和身体活动水平的关键教育模式，这些模式可用于满足加勒比裔散居群体的健康和营养需求。
