Abstract
Low health literacy can lead to a lack of disease perception or understanding of one’s disease process, treatment plan, and state of health, which could potentially lead to nonadherence, further health disparities, and poor health outcomes (Hugtenburg et al., 2013). The purpose of this project was to evaluate whether an online platform that provides Hispanic patients with evidence based and culturally sensitive diabetic education and support in the form of a video, would improve adherence and health outcomes. Upon the completion of the 3-month program that consisted of bi-weekly check-ins, results showed that there were overall improvements in the participants’ fasting blood glucose, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, body mass index, Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire (DSMQ) scores, and A1C.
