The Hispanic population grew by 49% from 2000 to 2015 in the Midwest per the last U.S. Census.

Currently, Illinois has the fifth largest Hispanic population in the U.S

Relevance to Midwest and Illinois

U.S. Latinos Have Many Barriers to Care

• Socioeconomic: - Average Latino household owns 7 cents for every $1 held by a non-

Hispanic white household (Duke University 2014)

• Barriers in the built environment—violence, limited space for exercise, poor access to fresh food

• Language barriers: 76% of U.S. Latinos speak Spanish at home (2011 Census)

• Access to care

Why such high prevalence of diabetes among Hispanics?

• Genetic predisposition towards insulin resistance and beta cell dysfunction but unclear why among Hispanics

• High rate of abdominal obesity and greater amount of visceral fat

• Higher rate of conversion from pre-diabetes to diabetes (15%) than non-Hispanic whites (5-10%)

• Variation in risk may be related to higher proportion of Native American ancestry

Hispanics also suffer from disparities in diabetes outcomes

• Only 1/3 of Latinos with diabetes achieve optimal glycemic control

• Increased risk of complications:- Twice the risk of diabetic retinopathy than non Hispanic

whites- 40% greater risk of nephropathy

• Age-adjusted diabetes death rate is 1.4 times higher than Hispanics than non-Hispanic whites

• Among Hispanics, the diabetes death rate in 2000 was highest among: - Puerto Ricans-- 172 per 100,000- Mexican Americans-- 122 per 100,000- Cuban Americans-- 47 per 100,000

Diabetes in Chicago Latinos

• Chicago: 4th largest Mexican-American population in the U.S. (578,000)

• In Little Village (South Lawndale): 83% Latino, 76% Mexican

• Many risk factors for poor health - 60% below poverty- 40% high school diploma- 46% have insurance- 37 is average BMI

Ask the Audience: Who is familiar with the term community-based participatory research (CBPR)?

A. Yes

B. No

C. Maybe

Traditional vs. Partnered Research

• Traditional approach where researcher largely determines

- Questions asked and tools employed

- Interventions developed

- Kinds of results and outcomes documented and valued

• Difficulty of translating scientific findings into clinical practice

• Many times researchers use communities for research but then never report the findings to them

Meredith Winkler, 2003,”Community-Based Participatory Research for Health”

A Partnered Approach: Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR)

• 1970’s Paulo Freire, a Brazilian educator

– Communities identify own problems & solutions

– Used with communities to understand and begin to create structural change

• CBPR applies scientifically rigorous methodology in conducting research partnered with a community

• CBPR is not research method itself but an approach

• Findings are “practical and relevant”

• Research findings can be applied directly to develop policy and interventions

Jones, JAMA 2007 Wells, JAMA 2009

Project

Designing and Testing a Church-based Diabetes

Education Program for Latinos Adults

Church-based Diabetes Education

• Diabetes self-care is cornerstone of disease management

• Many Latinos do not participate in self-management education programs

• Churches can provide a familiar, convenient, and trusted setting for diabetes education and support

• Churches are central to many racial/ethnic communities

Our Lady of Tepeyac Church,Chicago

We Learned How to Tailor the Intervention From Patients

• Focus groups

• Participant concerns:- Diabetes affects all aspects of life

- Cost of care

- Psychological impact of having diabetes

- Lack of resources to manage diabetes in community

• Preferences- Interested in group-based education program in church

- Desire diabetes education, support, self-empowerment

- Information on nutrition, exercise, causes, complications

Identify Points of Intervention and Study design

• Formed community advisory board (CAB) for continued input from patients and stakeholders

• Community involvement in designing intervention and in study design

• Using local resources and working with other agencies

• Need to tailor the intervention to the church setting and the community

Using Patient Engaged Research Methods: Photovoice

• Uses power of pictures

• People can identify, represent, and analyze their communities by taking photos

• Photos can be accompanied by stories

• As a way to problem solve and give social support

Background on Photovoice

Photovoice is a community-based participatory research methodology that engages community members through the use of photos and storytelling. (Wang, University of Michigan)

33Using Photovoice to Promote Diabetes

Self-Management for Latino Adults

In photovoice, participants take photos of their lives and tell stories about those photos.

Photovoice has traditionally been used for needs assessment.

No studies have assessed the feasibility and acceptability of using photovoice to promote diabetes self-management.

Study Design: Photovoice

• Intervention participants were given disposable cameras and asked to take photographs of their lives with diabetes.

• Photos were developed by the academic team and given to the participants.

• In the weekly classes, participants discussed their photos with the group and shared their challenges and successes in diabetes self-care. These exercise was used to promote problem solving and empower patients to improve their diabetes self care.

• Weekly diabetes self-management classes led by lay leaders trained in motivational interviewing.

34Using Photovoice to Promote Diabetes

Self-Management for Latino Adults

Study Design

• The lay health educators were trained by a team of a certified diabetes educator, registered dietitian, and a psychologist with support from a community pharmacist who served as their diabetes experts for information support and education.

• The class leaders guided the group photo discussions and took notes on (1) why the photo was important to the person who took it and (2) what others in the class discussed regarding the photo.

• Using a codebook derived from prevalent themes, two researchers coded the photos and the discussion notes.

• Participants evaluated the photovoice activities at 6-month follow-up.

In Participants’ Words

When asked what they liked about using photos to discuss their lives with diabetes:

o The pictures help us to remind ourselves of what is good and bad for us. It is a great method.

o It teaches us to be better people and continue forward. To be more conscious of our daily lives and remember essential things we had forgotten about. To be able to coordinate our daily lives and see what we have.

o Itʼs a good idea because it helps and you learn more by seeing and talking about it.

When asked what they would change about the photo discussions:

o Nothing, they have great significance in our lives. The pictures speak for themselves. We want more time to express their significance.

Summary of Findings

Participants’ photos spurred group discussion around diabetes self-management.

Participants gave advice, were empathetic, and motivated the participants who presented their photos to make or sustain healthy behaviors.

62Using Photovoice to Promote Diabetes

Provider cultural competency

– “...the ability of health care professionals to communicate with and effectively provide high-quality care to patients from diverse sociocultural backgrounds”

– “Understanding the importance of social and cultural influences on patients’ health beliefs and behaviors; considering how these factors interact at multiple levels of the health care delivery system; and, finally, devising interventions that take these issues into account to assure quality health care delivery to diverse patient populations.”

Provider cultural competency: Why is it important?

• To respond to current and projected demographic changes in the United States

• To eliminate long-standing disparities in the health status of people of diverse racial, ethnic and cultural backgrounds.

• To improve the quality of services and primary care outcomes.

• To improve patient-provider communication and improve patient satisfaction

• To meet legislative, regulatory and accreditation mandates.

Provider’s role in patient-centered care

• Few who speak Spanish fluently

• Goes beyond speaking language however.

• Providers who see many Latino patients may not have a good understanding of their patient’s life challenges and cultural beliefs

“Local Patients, Local Stories”

• We learned about patient challenges with provider communication in church-based program

• Developed study aimed to address provider cultural competency and patient centered communication

• Designed training with skill building on patient-centered communication

• Used a video of patient stories and photos to train providers on patient challenges AND successes

• Piloted with 42 local healthcare providers and have noted pre to post-test improvement in cultural sensitivity

Patients Tell Their Stories

Multi-level approach: Work to Date

• Community– How to mobilize community leaders through evaluation of 

formation of Community Advisory Board

• Patient– Church‐based education with improvement in self‐care

– Texting messaging in health centers to support diabetes self‐care

– Review of family based interventions for adults with diabetes

• Provider– Cultural competency assessment 

– Training with patient stories

• System– Assessment of resources for Latinos in Midwestern health 

centers

– Diabetes group visits in community health centers

Summary and What’s Next?

• Latinos suffer from disproportionately high rates of diabetes and have many barriers to care

• We need innovative, multi-pronged interventions to tackle Latino diabetes disparities

• Integrate community partnerships into healthcare systems to gain trust and utilize local resources

• Ultimately want results that are practical and relevant to patients and policy makers
