|
| This research center is a collaboration between Vanderbilt and the Untied South and Eastern Tribes, Inc (USET) which includes 26 tribes. We propose to improve diabetes care and outcomes by using methods of Community Based Participatory Research to develop locally tailored, culturally appropriate, literacy-sensitive, multi-level interventions. We will develop and pilot a HIT toolkit as part of a comprehensive, culturally tailored diabetes-improvement program. |
