โœฆ Synopsis

The increasing prevalence of Type 2 diabetes mellitus has made diabetes a major public health problem worldwide. Healthcare systems are faced with the major challenge of developing innovative approaches to improving the prevention of diabetes and associated complications, particularly in populations undergoing rapid cultural development. Examples of community-based primary prevention projects in two Native communities in Canada that have high incidences of diabetes are reviewed. These projects are notable for the active participation of the communities, the collaborative relationship that was established between the communities and the researchers, and the way that traditional native culture and beliefs were incorporated into the intervention design. This phenomenon has impacted on the success of the projects and has enhanced their long-term sustainability.
