Congratulations to Dr. Jorge Rodriguez, RISE Cohort 8, on receiving a K23, "Toward Technology Equity: Extending Telemedicine to Latino Patients with Type II Diabetes", from NIMHD.
Brief description of what the study/project is all about:
Latino populations have a high burden of type II diabetes leading to worse health outcomes. Telemedicine has been shown to improve diabetes outcomes but is under utilized among Latino patients. To inform telemedicine implementation strategies and improve care, the proposed research will develop a multilevel, culturally tailored intervention to promote telemedicine use among Latino patients with diabetes.
