PURPOSE This study was conducted to assess the cultural relevance of an education program for urban African Americans with diabetes. METHODS A set of 12 videotape vignettes were developed for use in diabetes education for urban African Americans with diabetes. Focus groups and questionnaires were used to determine if patients and diabetes educators would find the materials stimulating, culturally appropriate, and useful. RESULTS The videotape and discussion guide were perceived as valuable by both healthcare professionals and patients. CONCLUSIONS This education program could be a valuable resource for diabetes educators who want to provide culturally sensitive and relevant diabetes education for urban African Americans with diabetes.
