Depressive disorders, bad mental health days, and diabetes management behaviors among non-Hispanic American Indian/Alaska Native adults: Findings from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System

These findings suggest that enhancing mental health support within diabetes management programs may help address disparities in diabetes care among AI/AN adults.
