FINDINGS • 88% of RDs reported they would recommend this tool to
other RDs • 59% of RDs reported a need for NSB education tools • Surveyed RDs described materials to be very easy to
follow/understand, colorful, and engaging
RECOMMENDATIONS
• Separate pt. material from educator material for ease of
printing and presentation
• Use picture resources with low literacy patients
• Adapt similar materials for other cultures

PROBLEM: Carbohydrate counting tools for the NSB are limited and often require users to have a high level of literacy.
PROJECT QUESTION: Would a “universal design” (UD) carbohydrate-counting tool meet the needs of NSB persons with diabetes and their educators?
Project Setting: Center for Outpatient Health, Barnes-Jewish Hospital, St. Louis, Missouri
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
STATISTICS: • As of 2012, more than 49,000 Nepali-speaking Bhutanese (NSB) have resettled in the US. • At Barnes-Jewish Hospital, NSB-interpreted encounters increased from “0” encounters in 2009 to 4,976 in 2012. • Diabetes Education materials are crucial as 8.7% of adults in the South-East Asia region (Includes Bhutan & Nepal) have diabetes.
