Perceptions and management of psychosocial factors affecting type 2 diabetes mellitus in Chinese Americans
Abstract: Diabetes has become a global pandemic and Chinese Americans are at least 60% more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than White Americans, despite having lower body weight, due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

Health professionals’ beliefs about domestic abuse and the issue of disclosure: a critical incident technique study
We report on a two‐phase, qualitative study using Critical Incident Technique (CIT) that aimed to explore community health professionals’ beliefs about domestic abuse and the issue of disclosure.

The study was informed theoretically by the Common Sense Model of Self‐Regulation of Health and Illness (CSM). This model is typically used in disease‐orientated research. In our innovative use, however, CSM was used to study the social phenomenon, domestic abuse. The study involved semi...
