Behavior and Prevention of Diabetes : NIDDK

Behavior and Prevention of Diabetes

The division supports a substantial portfolio of culturally sensitive, lifestyle interventions to prevent or treat diabetes in diverse high-risk populations including African-Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Native Americans. This research includes individual, family, and community-based strategies aimed at prevention of diabetes and its complications through lifestyle modifications. The link between behavior and physical health is an important focus of research. Approaches to improving health-related behaviors and to enhancing diabetes self-management and other aspects of diabetes care are supported both through RO1s and centers.
