IN BRIEF In the United States, Hispanics have a 66% greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes and, once diagnosed, exhibit worse outcomes than non-Hispanic whites. It is therefore imperative to ensure that interventions meet the specific needs of this at-risk group. This article provides a selective review of the evidence on innovative, real-world approaches (both live and technology-based) to improving behavioral, psychosocial, and clinical outcomes in underserved Hispanics with type 2 diabetes. Key aspects of successful live interventions have included multimodal delivery, greater dosage/attendance, and at least some in-person delivery; effective technology-based approaches involved frequent but intermittent communication, bi-directional messaging, tailored feedback, multimodal delivery, and some human interaction. Across modalities, cultural tailoring also improved outcomes. Additional research is needed to address methodological limitations of studies to date and pinpoint the most efficacious components and optimal duration of interventions. Future efforts should also attend to variability within the U.S. Hispanic population to ensure acceptability and sustainability of interventions in this diverse group.
