Families are a significant part of patients’ overall health and wellness, and often play an important role in patients’ chronic disease management.

Utilizing quantitative data collected with Latino/a/x patients with diabetes and qualitative data collected with African American patients with hypertension and their family members, we will explore key strategies for implementing family-centered approaches.
