The Impact of Communication Inequalities on Diabetes

Learn why it’s important to understand a patient’s environment and cultural background.

In this latest post from our Social Determinants of Health series, Dr. A. Susana Ramírez discusses the challenges associated with communication inequalities in health care settings, as well as how these inequalities can act as deterrents to patients obtaining and processing health information. She also shares how health care professionals can address these inequalities by better understanding the environment in which patients live and their cultural background, especially for health information that relates to diabetes prevention and management.
