African American Diabetes Association, Inc.

One of the critical purposes of the African American Diabetes Association is to educate African-Americans and the general public about having a higher diabetes disease burden and the disparities in the quality of care we receive. We also want to educate African-Americans and the general public, about culturally tailored healthcare interventions and products that seek to improve diabetes care and have the potential to improve health outcomes and reduce health disparities among racial/ethnic populations. As a nonprofit organization, the African American Diabetes Association works to reduce diabetes disparities and identify promising culturally tailored areas for future interventions. Our goal is to provide African American diabetics and their families, with effective information, projects, programs, and strategies to reduce diabetes and reduce health disparities within the United States.
