      African Americans with Uncontrolled Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Understanding diabetes-specific quality of life (DSQOL) is important 
      to improving lives of people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Despite the 
      prevalence of T2DM among African Americans, there is scant evidence about DSQOL 
      in this population. This study aims to understand relationships between DSQOL and 
      demographics, clinical markers, psychosocial factors, and stress in African 
      Americans. We hypothesize that: 1) predictors of DSQOL in African Americans will 
      be consistent with predictors identified in prior studies with non-African 
      Americans, and 2) greater stress will independently predict poorer DSQOL. 
      METHODS: Participants were 211 low-income African Americans with uncontrolled 
      T2DM. The two hypotheses were tested using distinct linear regression models. 
      RESULTS: Significant predictors of poorer DSQOL were: 1) fewer years of school, 
      2) fewer T2DM-related complications, 3) longer T2DM duration, and 4) more 
      perceived stress. IMPLICATIONS: Findings suggest that interventions targeting 
      stress could improve DSQOL in African Americans.
