Duke University Seeks African American Residents For Diabetes Study

Filed in archive Research by Rhys on January 31, 2007

Aware of the sharp increase of diabetes in African American communities, Duke University is now seeking participants for a new diabetes study that may help improve the rates of diagnoses.

Duke University is aiming to recruit 300 black residents from local churches for a study on how to reduce complications from diabetes, the Raleigh News & Observer reports. According to the News & Observer, diabetes is one of the leading causes of death in North Carolina. Statewide, 547,000 residents have diabetes -- roughly 8.5% of the population, according to the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services.
