Abstract
The primary objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of diabetes among Haitian Americans.
A convenience sample was used to collect baseline information, including Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) level, age, weight, height, basal metabolic index (BMI), and blood pressure measurements.
Upon approval from the Johns Hopkins Institutional Review Board, the researchers recruited more than 401 Haitian Americans.
