Publishing two manuscripts from the ¡Salud, Salud! study, targeting type 2 diabetes management.

Vanessa Errisuriz and colleagues published two manuscripts from the ¡Salud, Salud! study, which targeted type 2 diabetes management for low-income Latinos in Austin, TX.

The first article, “A Community-Academic Partnership Using Digital Solutions for Diabetes Self-Management,” published in the Journal of Healthcare for the Poor and Underserved, offers practical insights for organizations designing digital health interventions to support healthy lifestyles among underserved populations. The second, “Assessing a Community Health Worker-Facilitated, Digitally Delivered, Family-Centered Diabetes Management Program: Single-Arm Quasi-Experimental Study,” published in JMIR Formative Research, presents the intervention outcomes. ¡Salud, Salud! showed promising improvements in glucose levels, body weight, body fat, stress, added sugar intake, sedentary time, quality of life, and mindfulness. Together, these publications demonstrate that culturally tailored, digital interventions can effectively support diabetes management among low-income Latino adults while emphasizing the need to enhance engagement and uptake of evidence-based practices.
