Diabetes Information Produced for Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month

Format: Web Site and Brochures
Institute: National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)

Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders with diabetes can view—in a choice of 15 languages—colorful, informative brochures or Web pages that explain the link between diabetes and heart disease. In May, which is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, NIDDK's National Diabetes Education Program (NDEP) is offering patient education handouts tailored specifically for these diverse populations.

NDEP's educative materials are useful tools to distribute at health fairs, libraries, hospitals, and work sites in local communities.
