TASK

As team members, each enacting a different role, you will explore and critically analyze journal articles, web resources, and other relevant materials about Southern food and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus to prepare material to present to older Southern African-American women with Type 2 Diabetes, as well as to your fellow community health nurses.

Each learner will:
