Program Overview
Nearly 26 million Americans have diabetes. Overall, minority groups bear a disproportionate burden of this epidemic. The prevalence of diabetes in Hispanic Americans, both diagnosed and undiagnosed, is about 70 to 80 percent higher than that of non-Hispanic whites. Due to the rapidly growing number of Hispanics in many areas of the United States, pharmacists must be aware of common communication and cultural barriers that exist between the medical community and Hispanic patients.
