WHAT: The Diabetes Research, Education, and Action for Minorities (DREAM Project) aims to develop, implement, and test a Community Health Worker Program designed to improve diabetes control and diabetes-related health complications in the Bangladeshi community in New York City.
Community Health Workers are members of the South Asian community who will work with Bangladeshi community members to provide information and social support to address diabetes.
We will be introducing the DREAM Project and our new Community Health Workers to the general public and speaking about our initial data analysis on the impact of diabetes on Bangladeshi's in New York City.
WHY: Diabetes is a growing problem in the Bangladeshi and South Asian community. A survey conducted in the New York City South Asian population found that approximately 17% of South Asians suffer from diabetes, a rate much higher than that of the general population.
