“…More precisely a community-academic partnership, composed of the Consulate General of Florence, the four local community-based Chinese organizations, and the Chinese and Italian Universities, was built to develop a sensitive, culturally appropriate, no coercive recruitment, and enrolment process [19]. A network sampling procedure was adopted [16, 17, 22]. To be eligible for the present analysis, participants recruited in 2014 had (1) to self-identify to be born in continental China and to have grandparents born in that country; (2) to be between 35 and 59 years of age; and (3) to live permanently in Prato.…”

“…In particular, Prato has the highest proportion of Chinese immigrants of any Italian province, subjects being mainly occupied in the textiles industry of the area [ 15 ]. Risk factor distribution in the Chinese community of Prato was recently investigated in the CHIP (CHinese In Prato) survey which enrolled Chinese first-generation migrants aged 18 to 59 years [ 16 , 17 ]. However, data on the differences in hypertension burden between Chinese and Europid adults are lacking.…”

Data on health needs of Chinese living in the South of Europe are lacking. To compare prevalence, awareness, treatment, control, and risk factors for hypertension between Chinese migrants and Italian adults, a sample of 1200 first-generation Chinese migrants and 291 native Italians aged 35–59 years living in Prato (Italy) was recruited in a community-based participatory cross-sectional survey. Primary outcome measure was hypertension, diagnosed for blood pressure values ≥ 140/90 mmHg or current use of antihypertensive medications. Associations with exposures (including age, gender, body mass index, waist, education level, total cholesterol, and triglycerides) were examined using logistic regression. When compared with Italians, Chinese had higher hypertension prevalence (27.2% versus 21.3%, p < 0.01), with comparable levels of awareness (57.4% and 48.4%) but lower treatment rates (70.6% and 90.0%, resp.). In both ethnic groups age and parental history of hypertension were predictors of awareness and treatment, body mass index being predictor of hypertension diagnosis. In Chinese participants, where the optimum cut-off point for body mass index was ≥23.9 kg/m2, the sensibility and specificity prediction for hypertension were 61.7% and 59.8%, respectively (area under the ROC curve = 0.629). Implementation of specific, culturally adapted health programs for the Chinese community is now needed.

“…CBPR 5 Community-based participatory research. (Coffman et al, 2017;Kuehne et al, 2018;Modesti et al, 2017) and health care outcomes (Kuehne et al, 2018;Letiecq et al, 2014;Maty et al, 2011). Thus, when studies fail to report immigration status in their findings, it is unclear if results are relevant only to migrants with official status in the country, only to migrants without official status, or to migrants regardless of status.…”

This integrative study reviewed quantitative communitybased participatory research (CBPR) studies on adult migrant populations and examined CBPR partnerships with community representatives. Method: The search identified relevant studies via MEDLINE, the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, and PsychInfo databases. Results: From the original 476 studies identified, a final sample of 26 studies focusing on migrants' health and health care was selected. CBPR community representatives were comprised of members of the public or staff recruited from a variety of sites (e.g., churches, hospitals). The ethnicity of community representatives matched the respondents of the target population in all studies, but few studies (n 5 3) reported the migrant status (e.g., refugees) of the study sample. Conclusions: Although immigration status is among the societal characteristics that can lead to discrimination (i.e., intersectionality), this integrative review found that the majority of CBPR studies targeting migrants either did not specify the type of migrant group included or combined disparate migrant groups (e.g., migrants with and without documentation). Terms such as migrants, refugees, and immigrants were used interchangeably. Careful attention must be paid to the selection of community representatives to better represent the population of interest.

“…The CHINARISK version two was modified based on: (1) evidence about diabetes risk calculators used in mainland China (Shi et al., ), (2) greater diabetes risk in the Chinese population (Gujral et al., ), and (3) multiple rounds of Delphi expert consultation. Modifications to the CANRISK primarily focused on scoring and cutoff targets for age, ethnicity, level of education, birth weight, and BMI and waist circumferences (Modesti et al., ). Rural or urban living is important to diabetes risk in the Chinese population, so this was added in the CHINARISK version two: “Where did you live in the past decade, rural or urban areas?”…”

Objectives: To adapt the Canadian Diabetes Risk Assessment Questionnaire for the Chinese population and to evaluate its psychometric properties. Design and Methods:The Canadian Diabetes Risk Assessment Questionnaire was adapted and translated for the Chinese population. Test-retest reliability was conducted to measure stability. Criterion and convergent validity of the adapted questionnaire were assessed using 2-hr 75 g oral glucose tolerance tests and the Finnish Diabetes Risk Scores, respectively. Sensitivity and specificity were evaluated to establish its predictive validity. Results:The test-retest reliability was 0.988. Adequate validity of the adapted questionnaire was demonstrated by positive correlations found between the scores and 2-hr 75 g oral glucose tolerance tests (r = .343, p < .001) and with the Finnish Diabetes Risk Scores (r = .738, p < .001). The area under receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.705 (95% CI .632, .778), demonstrating moderate diagnostic value at a cutoff score of 30. The sensitivity was 73%, with a positive predictive value of 57% and negative predictive value of 78%. Conclusions:Our results provided evidence supporting the translation consistency, content validity, convergent validity, criterion validity, sensitivity, and specificity of the

New findings on type 2 diabetes in first‐generation Chinese migrants settled in Italy: Chinese in Prato (CHIP) cross‐sectional survey

Abstract: Background Chinese people are one of the fastest growing immigrant populations in Europe, and their health has become a key issue to host nations. Although type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is a big burden among migrant populations, data on Chinese immigrants in Europe are limited.
