The smaller sample was drawn from the Southwest Baltimore site of the Exploring Health Disparities in Integrated Communities (EHDIC)
study, an
ongoing study by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Disparities Solutions of race disparities within communities where approximately equal numbers of both African Americans and non-Hispanic whites live and where median incomes are
similar.
Family functioning, adherence, and glycemic control relationships warrant
ongoing research as these and
similar mediation models may further inform intervention
studies.
