In order to gain a better understanding of diabetes-related health disparities, Nashville REACH 2010 conducted a community baseline survey on health status. A total of 3204 randomly selected African-American (AA) and Caucasian (C) residents of North Nashville, and a comparison sample of residents living in Nashville/Davidson County were interviewed using a computer-assisted telephone interviewing system. Diabetes prevalence was determined, and similarities/differences relative to access to health care, co-morbid conditions, diabetes care, and lifestyle behaviors, were examined. Age-adjusted prevalence of diabetes was 1.7 times higher among AAs. Increasing age (P,.0001) and being AA (P,.01) were predictive of diabetes status in a regression model. African Americans were more likely to be uninsured (P,.01), while Cs had to travel farther to get medical care (P,.0002). Compared to Caucasians, African Americans were 1.6 times more likely to have co-morbid hypertension (P,.004). Reported insulin use was higher (P,.0001) in AAs, and more Cs (25.5% vs 9.1%, respectively) reported taking no medications. African Americans were more likely to report (P,.0001) daily glucose self-monitoring, while more Cs (P,.04) reported having had an eye exam in the last 1 to 2 years. Caucasians reported more (P,.05) active lifestyle behaviors, while AA reported more (P,.001) fat-increasing behaviors. In conclusion, interventions addressing diabetes disparities in the target population should focus on insuring equitable awareness of, and access to, insurance options; managing co-morbidities; improving provider adherence to standards of care; and establishing multi-level supports for lifestyle modifications.
