This project aims to validate a Gamulation intervention to enhance diabetes knowledge and management skills among underserved populations with type 2 diabetes. The project will be conducted at the Health For All free clinic in Bryan which serves an uninsured population specifically. Students who work on this project will interact with the healthcare team at clinical, experience first hand how social determinants of health impact health outcomes (such as language and cultural barriers, financial disadvantage, social insecurity, and low health literacy) and identify potential solutions that could mitigate existing health disparities. Students will also have the opportunity to assist with implementing and evaluating the intervention.
