General Info

In DIABETES IN BLACK AMERICA (Hilton Publishing; June 2010; $49.95), more than 75 contributors in public health, medicine, nursing, psychology, social work, sociology, economics, public policy, and pharmacy join forces to answer these questions. Edited by Leonard Jack, Jr., PhD, a nationally recognized scholar in diabetes management among African Americans, this unique resource illuminates the spectrum of causes—genetic, cultural, social, and economic—and approaches the challenge of improving prevention and control from multiple perspectives. While each of the 29 chapters focuses on a specific aspect of the diabetes problem for black Americans, the result is a groundbreaking collaborative effort to find solutions.
