[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS XhLbR0xf. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives : We evaluated whether ethnicity and language are associated with diabetes care for Latinos in managed care. Methods : Using data from 4685 individuals in the Translating Research Into Action for Diabetes (TRIAD) Study, a multicenter study of diabetes care in managed care, we constructed multivariate regression models to compare health behaviors, processes of care, and intermediate outcomes for Whites and English-and Spanish-speaking Latinos. Results : Latinos had lower rates of self-monitoring of blood glucose and worse glycemic control than did Whites, higher rates of foot self-care and dilated eye examinations, and comparable rates of other processes and intermediate outcomes of care. Conclusions : Although sell-management and quality of care are comparable for Latinos and Whites with diabetes, important ethnic disparities persist in the managed care settings studied.
