Abstract

Multimorbidity is one of the pressing global medical issues facing health systems in the developed world today2. The co-existence significantly worsens the prognosis of both diseases and language differences may make it difficult for immigrants to learn about the disease condition1-2. Whilst there are several management techniques for this condition, it is important to provide culturally and linguistically adapted interventions for this group of individuals1. In the last decade, experts in diabetes education from numerous nations have identified the benefits of individualised education encompassing linguistic and cultural considerations. The Diabetes Research, Education, and Action for Minorities (DREAM) study examines the feasibility and benefits of an evidence-based community health worker (CHW) led culturally tailored telehealth education in improving diabetes care1.
