Research Interest

Dr. Hu’s area of research has focused on developing and testing culturally appropriate, family-focused nursing interventions to improve diabetes self-management among African Americans and Hispanic Americans. As a Principal Investigator on several NIH funded grants with focus on diabetes-self management for Hispanics with type 2 diabetes and their family members, Dr. Hu tested the effectiveness of diabetes self-management intervention for low literacy minority populations and successfully delivered cultural tailored diabetes intervention programs to Hispanics with type 2 diabetes and their family members. In China, Dr. Hu tested culturally appropriate and low-literacy interventions for behavior change among older adults with chronic illnesses. Dr. Hu has over 60 publications in peer-reviewed nursing and multi-disciplinary journals. She is a fellow of the American Academy of Nursing.
