Proposed Project
Assessing the Adoption and Utility of National Diabetes Education
Program (NDEP) Tools and Resources for Healthcare Professionals and
Health Education Facilitators--New--National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Diabetes is one of the nation's leading causes of death and
disability. An estimated 25.8 million children and adults (of whom 7.0
million are undiagnosed) have diabetes and are at risk for disabling
and life-threatening complications, such as heart attack and stroke,
and kidney, eye, and nerve disease. Research shows that Type 2
diabetes, and much of the illness and premature death caused by
diabetes, can be prevented or delayed. The National Diabetes Education
Program (NDEP) is a joint program of the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health. The NDEP
develops, disseminates, and supports the adoption of evidence-based,
culturally and linguistically appropriate tools and resources that
emphasize the importance of controlling blood glucose levels, blood
pressure, and blood lipids, as well as carrying out other preventive
care practices in a timely manner to improve health outcomes and
overall quality of life.
In 2012 and 2013, CDC/NDEP collaborated with relevant partners to
update two major diabetes education resources: ``New Beginnings: A
Discussion Guide for Living Well with Diabetes'' (hereafter referred to
as New Beginnings), and ``Working Together to Manage Diabetes: A Guide
and Toolkit for Pharmacy, Podiatry, Optometry, and Dentistry''
(hereafter referred to as the PPOD Guide and Toolkit). New Beginnings
was developed for diabetes educators, health educators, health
ministers, lay health workers and others who facilitate discussion
groups about diabetes self-management. The discussion guide uses a
storytelling approach to facilitate discussions focused on the social-
emotional impact of diabetes. Through story-telling, the guide teaches
skills related to goal setting, building self-efficacy, managing
stress, problem solving, and communication. New Beginnings has been
revised to make it a more accessible and flexible resource that can be
adapted for use in diabetes self-management education classes and in
other settings. The PPOD Guide and Toolkit are targeted to health care
providers in pharmacy, podiatry, optometry, and dentistry. The PPOD
Guide and Toolkit are designed to promote a collaborative, team-based
approach to comprehensive diabetes care. Both resources are being
promoted to key target audiences in 2014.
In order to understand how target audiences use the resources and
apply the recommended diabetes control strategies, CDC plans to conduct
a series
[[Page 24439]]
of surveys that will assess adoption, use, and satisfaction with the
resources. Respondents for the PPOD Guide and toolkit assessment will
include health care providers in the private sector, state and local
government, and federal government. Respondents for the New Beginnings
assessment will include health education facilitators in the private
sector and state and local government. CDC will coordinate the
information collection and assessment activities with events and
opportunities sponsored by professional organizations, and CDC-
sponsored Webinars.
Office of Budget and Management (OMB) approval is requested for one
year. All information will be collected electronically. Survey findings
will be used to guide further improvements to the resources, make
adjustments to promotional and educational strategies, and inform CDC's
technical assistance related to diabetes education. Participation in
the surveys is voluntary and there are no costs to respondents other
than their time.
