[Learning Collaborative] “Diabetes Continuum of Care: Environmental Impacts on Diabetes Management and Access to Care” Session 1
Asian American (AA) populations face unique challenges with respect to Type 2 Diabetes. AA populations appear to have one of the lowest rates of diabetes compared to other racial/ethnic groups. However, when the AA populations are disaggregated, specific subgroups have significantly higher rates of diabetes compared to other racial/ethnic groups.
Join Association of Asian Pacific Community Health Organizations (AAPCHO), Farmworker Justice, and the National Network for Oral Health Access for this Learning Collaborative which will focus on environmental justice and the impacts of a changing climate on diabetes management and access to care. Guest speakers will discuss the intersection of environmental justice with diabetes care and management in health centers, strategies to support patients impacted by climate-related natural disasters, and practical steps and tools to support health center staff in promoting access to care.
