Engagement in the National Diabetes Prevention Program Among Hispanic Men
Authors' conclusion
Addressing the unique barriers faced by Hispanic men in engaging with the NDPP is critical to reducing diabetes-related inequities and may require tackling knowledge gaps, financial barriers, and perceptions of program relevance before, during, and after enrollment. Future research should explore how to tailor recruitment strategies and program content to Hispanic men's specific identities, motivations, and challenges.
