About the AADI
In response to the rising rates of diabetes in the Asian American population and the lack of culturally relevant research, clinical care, and education, Joslin Research Director George L. King, MD, and supporters of Joslin Diabetes Center established the Asian American Diabetes Initiative (AADI) in 2000.
Goals of the AADI
- Study diabetes in the Asian American population and disseminate Joslin’s research findings to healthcare providers and Asian American communities.
- Provide diabetes education through innovative and culturally appropriate materials and outreach programs
- Design and implement clinical treatment programs for Asian Americans
- Collaborate with local, national and international organizations to raise diabetes awareness
- Incorporate diverse community voices to promote health equity
