Diabetes Risk Assessment in Latinas: Effectiveness of a Brief Diabetes Risk Questionnaire for Detecting Prediabetes in a Community-Based Sample.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Numerous validated questionnaires use self-reported data to quantify individuals' risk of having diabetes or developing it in the future. Evaluations of these tools have primarily used nationally representative data, limiting their application in clinical and community settings.
