    The U.S.-Mexico Border Diabetes Prevention and Control Project allowed the border zone between the two countries to be considered, for the first time ever, as a unit for epidemiological research. A shared understanding among all participating institutions and entities of sociopolitical structures and procedures is required for effective border health cooperation initiatives

  • Quality of diabetes care

    Open AccessBeatriz A Díaz-Apodaca, Federico G de Cosio et al.ARTICLERevista Panamericana de Salud…2010

    Adult Hispanics diagnosed with diabetes and living on the U.S.-Mexico border region are not receiving adequate diabetes-related care, and health care professionals are not following international recommendations for providing that care.

    Open AccessBeatriz A Díaz-Apodaca, Shah Ebrahim et al.ARTICLERevista Panamericana de Salud…2010

    Established risk factors for diabetes (e.g., age, obesity, and family history) were relevant and there was an inverse relationship between diabetes and education and socioeconomic level. While diabetes prevalence is high on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border, one-third of the cases remain undiagnosed, suggesting a need for development and implementation of a public health program for prevention, diagnosis, and control of diabetes in the region

  • A historical overview of the United States-Mexico border diabetes prevention and Control Project

    Open AccessRita V Diaz-Kenney, Rosalba Ruiz-Holguín et al.ARTICLERevista Panamericana de Salud…2010

    Diabetes is a serious public health problem in the border region between the United States of America and Mexico, reflecting and by some measures surpassing the extent of national diabetes burden of each country. The U.S.-Mexico Border Diabetes Prevention and Control Project, a two-phase prevalence study on type 2 diabetes and its risk factors, was conceived and developed by culturally diverse groups of people representing more than 100 governmen…
