To summarize current developments aimed at improving diabetes care utilizing novel and culturally sensitive strategies to bridge the care gap in the LatinX community.
There is more than a decade of literature describing disparities in diabetes care and outcomes particularly involving ethnic and racial minorities leading to higher incidence of acute and long-term complications. Social determinants of health including language and cultural barriers in the LatinX community are important determining factors. We found three novel strategies reported in the current literature aimed at closing the diabetes care gap in LatinX patients: community-based efforts: community health workers (CHWs) and peer-led; shared medical and educational models; and adapting telehealth group appointments.
Here we review relevant but limited published articles found in the literature addressing the diabetes care gap in the LatinX community utilizing cost effective, novel and culturally sensitive strategies and reinforce the importance of continued work and publications on this very important field.
目的综述：总结目前利用新颖且文化敏感的策略改善糖尿病护理的最新进展，旨在弥合拉丁裔群体中的护理差距。
发现：十多年来，文献描述了在糖尿病护理和结局方面的差异，特别是涉及少数民族和种族群体，导致急性和长期并发症的发生率更高。健康的社会决定因素，包括拉丁裔群体中的语言和文化障碍，是重要的决定因素。我们发现目前文献中报道了三种新颖的策略，旨在缩小拉丁裔患者的糖尿病护理差距：以社区为基础的努力：社区卫生工作者（CHWs）和同伴领导；共同的医疗和教育模式；以及调整远程医疗小组预约。
总结：在这里，我们回顾了文献中发现的一些相关但有限的文章，这些文章涉及利用具有成本效益、新颖且文化敏感的策略弥合拉丁裔群体中的糖尿病护理差距，并强调在这一非常重要的领域继续开展工作和发表文章的重要性。
