PICO QUESTION 2
and Native Americans are at high chances of contracting type 2 diabetes (Strings et al., 2016).
Inactivity is also a common factor that leads to diabetes due among the high-risk groups. The
other factor that has been contributing to increased risk of diabetes is high poverty level and
inaccessibility of quality health care. In the case of diet, a person with low income cannot afford
quality diet leading to high instances of diabetes (Booth, 2013). Healthcare is an essential aspect
of screening, management, and control of diabetes. Patients from the poor background discover
they have been living with diabetes at late stages, which complicated the management of the
disease. Overall, these factors are predominant is some subgroups such as African Americans
causing high cases of diabetes. An approach that focuses on screening from an early age and
providing awareness among the member of the most affected groups would substantially reduce
diabetes as explored by the PICO Question.
PICO Research Question
In a diabetes high-risk groups such as African American and Native American, how does
increased screening compared to physical exercise affect diabetes control?
Population
Adults 20 years that have not been screened or diagnosed with any type of diabetes
among the high-risk groups. Such groups include African American, Native America. Hispanic
American, and people with family history of diabetes. Patients that have been diagnosed with
diabetes and those that come from the low-risk population will be excluded from the study.
Intervention
The subjects will be screened on a regular basis, after two weeks and there will be the
administration of culturally based interventions. All the interventions and management programs
will be based on the screening results, which is the evidence-based treatment. Similarly, the
