Effectiveness of RADAR on diabetes processes of care for First Nations communities in Alberta, Canada

The epidemic of type-2 diabetes in First Nations communities is tragic. Culturally-appropriate approaches addressing multiple components, focusing beyond glycemic control, are urgently needed. Using an intention-to-treat framework, 13 processes of care indicators were assessed to compare proportions of patients who received care at baseline relative to 2-year follow-up. Clinical improvements were demonstrated across major process of care indicators (e.g. screening, education, and vaccination activities).
