摘要
2型糖尿病在非裔美国人中更为普遍和严重。即使在退伍军人健康管理局(Veterans Health Administration)内部,也存在着血糖控制和治疗结果方面的种族差异。人们认为,退伍军人健康管理局已经将获得医疗服务的障碍降到了最低。本期《问题简报》总结了测试两种新型干预措施的工作——一对一的同伴指导(一种“伙伴制度”)和经济激励——旨在帮助长期控制不佳的糖尿病患者取得更好的效果。在这种情况下,一个电话伙伴会有很大的不同。
''Buddy system'' of peer mentors may help control diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes is more prevalent and severe among African Americans. Even within the Veterans Health Administration, which is thought to have minimized barriers in access to care, racial disparities in glucose control and outcomes persist. This Issue Brief summarizes work testing two novel interventions--one-on-one peer mentoring (a "buddy system") and financial incentives--designed to help patients with consistently poor diabetes control achieve better results. In this case, a telephone buddy makes a big difference.
