OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to culturally enhance a diabetes education program for Diné (Navajo) community members with Type 2 diabetes. Though the recommendation to culturally adapt health education curricula was meant to improve health education for American Indians and Alaskan Natives (AIANs), it has inadvertently created a "one size fits all" approach. This approach does not properly address the need for tribe-specific cultural h…

Method: A focused ethnography was conducted on the Navajo Nation. Twenty-two Diné (Navajo) were recruited through convenience sampling. Data were collected via two semistructured interviews and photovoice methods. Data were analyzed using content analysis, thematic…
