ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To better understand the knowledge, practice, importance, awareness, usefulness, and confidence of non-Hispanic Black and English- and Spanish-speaking Hispanic/Latino adults with diabetes.DESIGN:
A descriptive cross-sectional survey study design was used and descriptive statistics was conducted. SAMPLE Non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic/Latino adults with diabetes were recruited from three New York City public hospitals. MEASUREMENTS A one-time survey was delivered via email, text message or over the phone.RESULTS:
Of the 96 participants, 47.9% were Hispanic/Latino and 52.1% were non-Hispanic Black individuals; 43.8% of the surveys were completed in Spanish and 56.3% in English; 41.7% were female and 58.3% male; 77.1% preferred to complete the survey via the telephone, 14.6% through email, and 8.3% via text message. Chi-square findings showed, 90.6% knew mask wearing prevented COVID-19; 96.9% knew that covering the nose and mouth during mask wearing is needed, 93.8% wore a mask, and 92.8% felt it important or very important to wear a mask to prevent the spread of COVID-19. For social distancing, 88.5% knew it prevented the spread of COVID-19, 93.8% practiced it, and 95.8% felt it important or very important.CONCLUSION:
In having a better understanding of the knowledge and practices of COVID-19 among non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic populations with diabetes, the development of culturally and linguistically tailored community-based mitigation strategies can be developed that are aimed at improving the preparedness of these groups for the next emerging infectious disease, such as COVID-19.Keywords
