Descripción

Los determinantes sociales de salud son las condiciones en que las personas nacen, se desarrollan, viven, trabajan y envejecen. Cada vez más, están siendo reconocidos por su relación con la incidencia creciente de la diabetes tipo 2 en los EE.UU., así como las oportunidades que presentan para nosotros para contrarrestarla. Muchas intervenciones para la diabetes tipo 2  se centran en factores biológicos y de comportamiento, tales como síntomas, la dieta y la actividad física. Sin embargo, es igualmente importante para hacerle frente a la enfermedad la influencia de los entornos físicos y sociales, que pueden influir en la aparición temprana de la enfermedad , el manejo y sus complicaciones, tales como los bajos ingresos, la inseguridad laboral, el bajo nivel de instrucción academica, y la una pobre calidad de vida. En este curso  aprenderán el efecto que las desigualdades socioeconómicas tienen en el desarrollo de la diabetes en los EE.UU.

Objetivos de aprendizaje
  1. Entender la diabetes como un problema de salud pública.
  2. Entender el efecto que las desigualdades socioeconómicas tienen en el desarrollo de la diabetes en los EE.UU.
  3. Incorporar el conocimiento de la Diabetes y los determinantes sociales en el desarrollo de estrategias efectivas para involucrar a las comunidades, los pacientes y los médicos para gestionar por la diabetes.
  4. Aprender sobre los servicios sociales de apoyo que pueden apoyar en última instancia a superar las desigualdades sociales en la población.

Diabetes continues to be one of the most common and challenging health condition confronting migrants and other underserved populations. It is clear that a healthy lifestyle is critical to mitigating the impact of diabetes on individuals and the population, however effective and appropriate interventions can be difficult to design. Fairhaven Community Health Center in Connecticut and Hudson River Healthcare in New York, are two health centers that have long led the way in creating culturally appropriate lifestyle programs for migrants and other underserved patients. In this session the presenters will discuss lessons learned from the development of a variety of programs for diabetics and other patients including a community garden, nutrition classes, cooking classes, weight management and strategies to encourage exercise. The session will address the clinical core measures related to nutrition and BMI and will also discuss current research test second line drug effectiveness in Type 2 DM. Available in English

Learning Objectives:

  1. Describe culturally appropriate diabetes intervention strategies
  2. Identify strategies to address clinical core competencies related to nutrition and BMI to improve quality care.
  3. Receive “take home” examples of how to incorporate effective nutrition, weight loss, exercise and other health lifestyle strategies.
