Abstract
Hispanic Americans (HA) have a 12.1% incidence of having diabetes (DM). A diabetes educational intervention using a pre/post design targeted community-dwelling HAs to provide knowledge and increase awareness of diabetes. Results showed gains (p=.038) in modifiable behaviors such as diet changes and increase in exercise activity.
