Exploring Relationships Between Acculturation and Diabetes Behaviors and Beliefs: Results of a short survey with Mexican Americans
This talk describes results from a recent telephone survey designed to assess relationships between levels of acculturation and adherence to attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs that have been associated with Mexican Americans with type 2 diabetes. Since many of the concepts measured derive from findings in previously published qualitative research with Latinos in the U.S., this study explores the prevalence of these attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs among Mexican Americans specifically. The grounds for a culturally specific, tailored diabetes management program for Mexican Americans will be explored.
