Proposed Project
Assessing the Adoption and Utility of National Diabetes Education
Program (NDEP) Tools and Resources for Health Care 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
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. 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 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. 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.
OMB approval is requested for one year. All information will be
collected electronically. Participation in the surveys is voluntary and
there are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are 233.
