Culture and Health: Diabetes Care in Indian Country

Wednesday, June 27, 2018


Diabetes programs across the United States collect feedback from program participants and family members to understand the cultural identities of the people they serve. During this webinar, presenters will highlight the importance of culturally sensitive care through traditional foods, traditional physical activities, and native language. They will offer insights for tribes, health care providers, researchers, policy makers, and others interested in diabetes care.
Learning objectives
  • Learn how programs support long-term care needs of community members who have diabetes
  • Understand how tribal, state, and federal funding influence programming
  • Identify new ways to overcome program challenges or barriers
  • Describe integrated cultural considerations within diabetes programs
  • Highlight and share successful program strategies
