Description

Introduction The Hispanic population in the United States has increased by more than 58% over the last decade. By the year 2000, the Hispanic population made up 12.5% of the total U. S. population. This percentage increased 2% by 2005 with the percentage of Hispanics reaching 14.5% (InfoPlease, n.d & U.S. Census Bureau, 2005). Hispanics are the fastest growing minority group in northeast Tennessee. According to the 2000 Census, the Hispanic population had increased more than 200% during the last decade in northeast Tennessee. At least 9.5% of American Hispanics have type 2 Diabetes; one of four leading causes of death in this ethnicity (U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, n.d.). Socioeconomic and cultural factors have been cited as barriers to appropriate diabetes care for Hispanics (Brown and Hanis, 1999).
