RESUMO
CONTEXT: The Caribbean diaspora in the United States is a diverse community that is afflicted with high morbidity and mortality due to preventable chronic diseases. OBJECTIVE: Our goal is to determine which culturally sensitive health and nutrition educational modalities have the highest efficacy for improving general health in the Caribbean diaspora. METHODS: A scoping literature review was performed on the MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Web of Science databases using terms related to health and nutrition in the Caribbean population. Original, peer-reviewed research published from 2010 to 2020, which took place in the U.S. and Caribbean countries, were included in our review. RESULTS: We identified a total of nine articles that met our inclusion criteria. Rate differences for individual education program features were calculated to assess the likelihood of a positive impact on diet, physical activity, and diabetes. CONCLUSION: Our review helps to identify key educational modalities targeting diabetes, diet, and physical activity levels that can be used to meet the health and nutritional needs of the Caribbean diaspora population.

La alta prevalencia de trastornos del sueño en los niños constituye un tema transversal del cuidado de la población. Esto ha hecho emerger la necesidad de ampliar la gama de programas educativos, que incentiven la formación de hábitos saludables, basados en la higiene del sueño y en las conductas autorregulatorias de niños y adolescentes. El objetivo de esta revisión es los principales factores que permiten diseñar programas educativos e intervenciones, con la finalidad de mejorar y prevenir el surgimiento de alteraciones más complejas y de difícil resolución.
