Purpose:
The purpose of the
program is to plan, coordinate, and facilitate public health activities related
to chronic disease prevention and health promotion (focusing on the National
Center For Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion’s priority areas and
goals), and environmental health. Approximately 79 million Americans
have prediabetes. Prediabetes means
blood glucose levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to be
diabetes. People with prediabetes have
an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.
The program purpose is to develop a process for identifying and supporting the work of 5-10 State
Diabetes Prevention and Control Programs (DPCPs) that have the capacity and are
well positioned to engage in state-wide or regional (large city) efforts to
promote increased use of lifestyle change programs that have achieved CDC
recognition.
Provide training and technical assistance on: 1) strategic use of health
communication and marketing campaigns to raise awareness of prediabetes risk
factors for people at risk, 2) strategies for raising awareness among health
care providers of how to recognize and treat prediabetes and increase referrals
to CDC-recognized lifestyle change programs, 3)
strategies for developing and implementing systems for referral of
people with prediabetes or multiple type 2 diabetes risk factors to sites
offering CDC-recognized lifestyle change programs, and 4) strategies for
partnering with state and local government agencies to recommend that
CDC-recognized lifestyle change programs be offered as a covered benefit for
public employees to prevent or delay type 2 diabetes.
Program Implementation
Recipient
Activities
1)
Develop a
process for identifying and supporting
the work of 5-10 State Diabetes Prevention and Control Programs (DPCPs) that
have the capacity and are well positioned to engage in state-wide or regional
(large city) efforts to promote increased use of lifestyle change programs that
have achieved CDC recognition (or pending recognition) to prevent or delay type
2 diabetes among people at high risk during the 12 month project period;
2)
Provide
training and technical assistance to 5-10 selected states, in coordination with
CDC, in the following areas:
a)
Strategic
use of health communication and marketing campaigns to raise awareness of
prediabetes risk factors for people at risk, the location of sites offering
lifestyle change programs that have achieved CDC recognition (or pending
recognition), and how to enroll in these lifestyle programs;
b)
Strategies
for raising awareness among health care providers of how to recognize and treat
prediabetes;
c)
Strategies
for working with health care providers to increase referrals to CDC-recognized
lifestyle change programs;
d)
Strategies
for developing and implementing systems for referral of people with prediabetes
or multiple type 2 diabetes risk factors to sites offering CDC-recognized
lifestyle change programs;
e)
Strategies
for partnering with state and local government agencies to recommend that
CDC-recognized lifestyle change programs be offered as a covered benefit for
public employees to prevent or delay type 2 diabetes;
f)
Strategies
for partnering with organizations such as business coalitions to increase
support for CDC-recognized lifestyle change programs as a covered benefit by
insurance providers and companies that are self-insured;
g) Strategies
for ensuring that efforts to increase awareness and promote the program are
aligned and coordinated with organizations in the State that are delivering
CDC-recognized lifestyle change programs.
3)
Develop a plan for documenting and
evaluating the impact of the selected DPCP’s contributions toward increasing
awareness, referrals and access to CDC-recognized lifestyle change programs
during the project period, and the extent to which these activities support
and/or complement those of the organizations offering the programs.
Dedicate
staff with necessary knowledge and skills to successfully manage the project
and complete the required recipient activities.
In a cooperative agreement, CDC staff is
substantially involved in the program activities, above and beyond routine
grant monitoring.
