Develop a future trial to test whether a tailored intervention can improve type 2 diabetes management among Mexican Americans.
Two hundred fifty Latinos who have self-reported diabetes and Mexican American ancestry. Participants are recruited via a combination of random-digit dialing and through a purchased sample.
Participants are interviewed via a telephone survey. Participants include individuals of Mexican American ancestry living in Census tracts with high, medium, and low Hispanic ethnic densities in Texas and California. The survey is administered by bilingual, bicultural interviewers with Mexican American ancestry and similar language characteristics. Data from this study is being used to refine measurement of acculturation/structural assimilation and to characterize audience segments.
