Food choices and distress in reservation-based American Indians and Alaska Natives with type 2 diabetes
ObjectiveTo examine the association between food choice and distress in a large national sample of American Indians/Alaska Natives (AI/AN) with type 2 diabetes.DesignParticipants completed a sociodemographic survey, an FFQ and the Kessler-6 Distress Scale. Foods were identified as 'healthy'...
