Type 2 Diabetes Self-Management Interventions Among Asian Americans in the United States: A Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is one of the leading causes of death among Asian Americans. Despite being a culturally diverse racial group with differences in history, language, religion, and values, Asian Americans are often viewed as a monolith. With the high prevalence rate of T2D, a careful examination of self-management interventions across Asian Americans is needed to develop effective and culturally sensitive interventions.

Objective

To describe existing literature by examining study characteristics, different intervention components, and outcome measures of various T2D interventions among Asian Americans.

Methods

Using Arksey and O'Malley's framework to ground this review, six online databases were used to identify studies.
