Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
Diabetes mellitus is a serious disease that poses a particular healthcare challenge because progression is considered controllable (Cox, et al, 1985; Vinicor, et al, 1996) yet treatment adherence, and thus outcome, is very poor (Gonder-Frederick, Cox, & Ritterband, 2002; Goodall, 1991).

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Today the population of Postville has doubled and of the 2,000 people who reside in Postville almost one …
