Nurses only and multidisciplinary teams were the most frequent professionals to provide education , and most educational interventions were delivered postdischarge .
Psychoeducational interventions were generally effective at reducing smoking and admissions for patients with ACS .
Culturally appropriate health education , self-management educational interventions , group medical visits and psychoeducational interventions were generally effective for patients with T2DM .
Results indicate that there is a body of current evidence about the efficacy of health education , its content and delivery methods for patients with ACS or T2DM .

The purpose was to provide recommendations for educational interventions for high-risk patients with both ACS and T2DM .
A Community-Based Pilot Study of a Diabetes Pharmacist Intervention in Latinos: Impact on Weight and Hemoglobin A1c
Type 2 diabetes disproportionately affects Latinos increasing their risk of diabetes-related complications . This study used a r and omized controlled design with a community-based approach to evaluate the impact of a culturally tailored pharmacist intervention on clinical outcomes in Latino diabetics . The intervention included a focused discussion and two individual pharmacist counseling sessions on medication , nutrition , exercise , and self-care to promote behavior changes . Sessions were culturally adapted for language , diet , family participation , and cultural beliefs . Clinical outcomes were measured at baseline and three months . Nineteen intervention and 24 control participants completed the study . Mean BMI reduction was greater for intervention than for control group participants ( –0.73± 0.07 kg/m2 versus + 0.37±0.02 kg/m2 p<.009 respectively ) . Hemoglobin A1c was significantly reduced by 0.93±0.45 % in the intervention group only . There was no significant difference in blood glucose , blood pressure , or lipid levels . An innovative culturally-sensitive pharmacist intervention improved selected clinical outcomes among Latino diabetics
