PY - 2014 T2 - Medical Epidemiology: Population Health and Effective Health Care, 5e AB - Late on a Monday afternoon, a nurse researcher received a call from a community leader in a rural church in Bamberg County, South Carolina. Their annual community health fair was scheduled for the following month, and they were requesting “diabetes screening” using an analysis of glucose in the blood or the “finger stick screening for diabetes.” According to the community leader, the church works with members of the congregation and surrounding community to bring free health services and linkages to health care providers to community members. Many people in this community may see their health care providers only when sick, may have inadequate health insurance coverage, or may be unable to afford to pay for preventive care and recommended screenings. The community leader knows that diabetes is a problem among members of the congregation and the broader community in Bamberg County.
