Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) contributes to significant morbidity and mortality for Chinese immigrants in the United States, exacerbated by social determinants of health (SDOH) barriers such as language barriers, limited access to healthy foods, and low health literacy.
Objective: The goal of the Integrating Cultural Aspects into Diabetes Education (INCLUDE) study is to test a social media-based intervention adapting the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) for Chinese immigrants alongside a culturally adapted, community-supported agriculture program. Here, we report the protocol for the INCLUDE study.
Article Synopsis
- Fatal and nonfatal opioid overdoses have surged, prompting laypersons to administer naloxone and provide support, yet little is known about their experiences with PTSD following these events.
- A study involving structured interviews and PTSD assessments was conducted with 101 laypersons who responded to opioid overdoses, revealing that over 27% met diagnostic criteria for current PTSD.
- The findings highlighted a significant link between PTSD and symptoms of depression and anxiety, emphasizing the need for tailored trauma-informed interventions for those involved in overdose responses.
