• “Diabetes self-care program for older Korean immigrants and their spouses.” Dr. Choi’s RCMAR/CHIME- and UCLA CTSI-funded project sought to develop an effective diabetes self-management program for community dwelling Korean immigrant older adults and to test its feasibility and acceptability for this group, and to provide preliminary data for a randomized controlled trial to test the efficacy of the culturally tailored and modified diabetes self-care/spousal support program for this high-risk yet underserved ethnic minority elderly population.
