Perceptions and experiences of nondiabetic Cameroonian immigrants in Minnesota on access to affordable, culturally adapted healthcare services
Healthcare systems should implement culturally tailored interventions to reduce health disparities and improve provider-patient interactions. Training healthcare providers to adopt a more holistic approach-integrating both psychosocial and physical health considerations-can lead to better health outcomes. Additionally, promoting culturally relevant education on diabetes prevention and management can empower immigrant populations to make informed health decisions and adopt sustainable self-care practices.
