CEAD stands for “Contextualizing Evidence for Action on Diabetes in low-resource Settings: a Mixed-methods case study in Quito and Esmeraldas. Ecuador”. It is a research project led by the Universidad Miguel Hernández in Spain and the Pontificia Universidad Católica in Ecuador (PUCE), funded by the European Union via an ERC Starting Grant.
The general goal is to analyse the process through which the global recommendations for the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes can translate into actions that are applicable to the context of low-resource countries or regions
