Working towards a better understanding of type 2 diabetes care organization with First Nations communities: a qualitative assessment
Abstract Background Diabetes care is suboptimal in First Nations populations. Innovative and culturally-relevant approaches are needed to promote proactive organization of diabetes care for diabetes patients on-reserve in Canada. The Reorganizing the Approach to Diabetes care through the Application...
