State-Based Diabetes Prevention & Control Programs
Capacity-building Versus
Basic Implementation Assistance
As part of its national strategy, CDC provides resources and
technical assistance to state health departments, national organizations,
and communities
- to determine the size and nature of diabetes-related problems and
why they exist
- to develop and evaluate new strategies for diabetes prevention
- to establish partnerships to prevent diabetes problems
- to increase awareness of diabetes prevention and control opportunities
among the public, the health care and business communities, and people
with diabetes
- to improve access to quality diabetes care for preventing, detecting,
and treating diabetes complications.
With capacity-building, CDC awards an average of $270,000
to state health departments. These diabetes prevention and control programs
- develop initial expertise in diabetes control
- provide a focal point for diabetes control
- establish systems to define the scope of the diabetes problem
- identify gaps in diabetes care, for both patient access and quality-of-care
issues
- develop and evaluate limited intervention projects
- identify external supporters for diabetes control activities.
With basic implementation, CDC awards an average of $725,000 to state health departments. These diabetes prevention and control
programs
- build on expertise in program, science, and policy areas to control
and prevent diabetes
- coordinate statewide diabetes control and prevention
- expand systems to define and analyze the scope of the diabetes problem
- improve access to diabetes care for all people and raise the quality
of that care
- use statewide public health projects to reduce diabetes-related problems
- inform, educate, and empower external supporters to control and prevent
diabetes.
