Proposed Project
A Comprehensive Assessment of the National Program to Eliminate
Diabetes Related Health Disparities in Vulnerable Populations--New--
National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In an effort to reduce diabetes-related disparities, CDC's Division
of Diabetes Translation's (DDT) aims to concentrate efforts where the
greatest impact can be achieved for populations with the greatest
burden or risk of diabetes. DDT established the National Program to
Eliminate Diabetes Related Health Disparities in Vulnerable Populations
(the ``VP Program'') to coordinate and integrate efforts in high risk
communities involving CDC, national organizations, and community
partners.
Through the VP Program, six national organizations received
cooperative agreements to assist a total of 18 communities with
planning, implementing, and evaluating community-based diabetes control
programs. Each VP awardee is required to use the community change
framework to guide their work with three communities. CDC proposes to
collect information to learn more about how the community change
approach is working in communities that are significantly impacted by
factors that influence the disproportionate burden of diabetes in
vulnerable populations, such as low income, limited education, limited
access to health care, and a physical environment that does not promote
health. Semi-structured telephone interviews will be conducted with key
personnel associated with each national organization (VP awardee) and
each community site. One project coordinator and one consultant at each
of the six VP grantee organizations (n=12) will be asked to participate
in an interview of 1.5 hours in length. In addition, an interview of
approximately 1.5 hours will be conducted with one community partner or
one coalition member at each community site (n=18) and one site
coordinator at each community site (n=18) over a two-month period. Data
collection, management, and analysis will be conducted by a contractor
working on behalf of CDC.
The interviews will allow CDC to explore capacity building and
support strategies used by the awardees to facilitate community change,
and provide insight into the facilitators and barriers experienced by
the program stakeholders in addressing diabetes in their communities.
OMB approval is requested for one year. Participation in the
interviews is voluntary and there are no costs to respondents other
than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 72.
