AB  - The purpose of this study was to describe the perceptions of African American 
      (AA) women with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) about developing diabetes 
      mellitus (DM) complications and explore how their perceived risk influenced DM 
      self-management. Ten (N = 10) AA women participated in the qualitative 
      description study through semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis informed 
      by the Health Belief Model and Risk Perception Conceptual Model revealed the 
      perceived probability of DM complications by AA women with T2DM and how they made 
      judgments regarding the seriousness, extent, or severity of complications. Those 
      with high levels of DM knowledge perceived themselves at high risk of developing 
      DM complications and those with low DM knowledge perceived themselves at low risk 
      of DM complications. Risk perceptions and health literacy also influenced DM 
      self-management behaviors.
