About AADI
Joslin's Asian American Diabetes Initiative (AADI)
Mission Statement
To enhance the quality of life and health outcomes for Asian Americans living with diabetes through research, education, outreach and improved diabetes treatment outcomes. | |
The AADI was established in 2000 by Joslin Research Director George L. King, M.D., and friends of Joslin Diabetes Center, in recognition of the growing challenge of diabetes in Asian Americans. Diabetes disproportionately affects Asian Americans who are two times more likely to develop the disease than Caucasians.
Our Goals
- To study diabetes in the Asian American population and disseminate Joslin's research findings to healthcare providers and Asian American communities.
- To increase diabetes awareness through innovative and culturally appropriate educational materials.
- To design and implement clinical treatment programs for Asian Americans.
