Evaluation of diabetes mellitus medication-taking behavior among first- and second-generation Australians of Chinese heritage: A nationwide cross-sectional study
Medication beliefs play a role in sub-optimal medication-taking behavior among Chinese adults with T2DM. Increased attention needs to be placed on examining and enhancing understanding of diabetes medications while addressing concerns among individuals of Chinese backgrounds to better understand the complexities of medication-taking behavior. Culturally relevant clinical discussion and structured diabetes education may support the development of health promoting medication beliefs potentially supporting optimal medication-taking behavior.
