Information about the outcomes of health self-management programs for Latinos is more fragmentary. However, analyses of our Spanish language Arthritis Self-Management Program and analysis of a pilot of our Spanish Diabetes Self-Management Program suggest that self-management programs can be extended successfully to Latinos. Work by Piette has demonstrated that 1) monolingual Spanish speakers can and will use automated telephone disease management (ATDM) calls as part of their care, 2) Latinos will use ATDM calls to access health education, and 3) ATDM-supported diabetes care can improve health-related quality of life, metabolic control and self-management behaviors.
