The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is 19.7% in Haiti (DeGennaro et al., 2018). Haitian American women (HAW) experience difficulties with adherence to T2DM treatment and management (Bivins, 2016; Magny-Normilus et al., 2019; Vimalananda et al., 2011; Huffman et al., 2013); however, no previous study was found that focused exclusively on Haitian American women with T2DM. Van Manen's six research activities guided this phenomenological qualitative inquiry. Recruitment included 25 Haitian American women (N = 25) with T2DM from three South Florida counties. Data were collected using a vignette and audio-recorded semi-structured interviews with open-ended questions. Recordings were then transcribed and analyzed to identify thematic concepts and patterns. Themes of spiritualizing and shifting cultural norms with the subtheme of dietary restrictions were found. In conclusion, to promote health outcomes nurses must incorporate these salient factors in the care of Haitian American women with T2DM.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on major disparities in access to curative lung cancer treatments among diverse Black populations compared to non-Hispanic Whites, specifically for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
- Analyzing data from over 55,000 cancer patients in Florida, the research found that Black individuals (both non-Hispanic and Hispanic) had significantly lower odds (35% less) of receiving curative treatments compared to non-Hispanic White patients.
- Despite treatment options being available, disparities persisted across different Black subgroups, indicating that underlying factors affecting access need further investigation to address these inequalities.

Article Synopsis
- Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant issue in low and middle-income countries like Haiti, yet there's limited research on its links to mental health, particularly for both genders.
- The study involved 3,586 Haitian adolescents and young adults, revealing that nearly half reported symptoms of depression and psychological distress, with IPV being a major independent predictor of these mental health issues.
- While this research serves as an initial exploration into IPV's impact on mental health in Haiti, its cross-sectional nature means causality can't be confirmed, and it didn't account for community violence that may influence participants' mental well-being.
