Assessing the Problem: Leadership, Collaboration, Communication, Change Management and Policy Considerations A Brief Description of Diabetes as Critical HealthCare issues and its implication among the African-American Community Cases and burden of chronic illnesses have significantly increased in the United States and other parts of the world

. A research by Center for

diseases Control and Prevention (2022) highlight the African-American

communities as one of the population largely impacted by the social,

economic, and healthcare effects of diabetes. The increasing evidence of

raising disparities in the distribution of diabetes cases is among the major

indicators of the alarming danger and burden of type II diabetes among the

African-American communities. A research by King et al. (2018) has played a

critical role in weighing the distribution and burden of type II diabetes among

the African American communities. According to CDC (2022) individual with

the African American decency faces 14% higher risk of getting diabetes com

compared to those from with the white community. A study by American

Diabetes Associationhas also contributed significantly in evidencing and

weighing the intensifying burden of diabetes among the African-American

community.

For instance, the American Diabetes Association (2022) found that 11

% of the total population living with diabetes in the United States comes

from the African-American community.
