I am trying to find out as much as possible about diabetes and ethnic
minorities. I have seen the higher prevalence numbers for diabetes in
minorities but I am wondering if it is possible to find any
information on historical and novel studies related to minorities,
treatments aimed at minorities, support and resources aimed at
minorities, etc. Thank you in advance for your help. Please let me
know if you need more information.

Request for Question Clarification by pinkfreud-ga on 24 Feb 2004 16:52 PST

It is sometimes difficult for a Researcher to know whether an answer
will please a customer without having an idea of what the customer's
expectations are. We don't like to fall short of your needs.

It would be very helpful if you'd specify approximately how many links
to source materials would constitute a fully satisfactory answer.

I'm looking for information to talk about for an hour, so maybe a
dozen? I'm  trying to find out the status quo for minorities as well
as what has happened in the past.  I'd rather find eight high quality
ones than a lot of random ones. Thank you so much!

Hi irga,
