Application for Participation
Asian American (AA) populations face unique challenges with respect to Type 2 Diabetes. While AA populations appear to have one of the lowest rates of diabetes compared to other racial/ethnic groups, disaggregated data show that specific subgroups have significantly higher rates of diabetes.

What is behind this disparity and what can health centers and other organizations do to support AA patients with pre-diabetes and diabetes?
Join us for a Learning Collaborative (LC) to learn more about diabetes and pre-diabetes disparities among the Asian American community.
