State Programs
Overview
CDC’s Arthritis Program, guided by recommendations in
National
Arthritis Action Plan: A Public Health Strategy (NAAP)* (PDF-394K), has been funding Arthritis Programs at state health
departments since 1999. Previously, 36 state health departments received
CDC arthritis funding during the period of 2003-2008.
In spring 2007, CDC convened national experts to advise on future
program directions. The panel made several important consensus
recommendations, leading to major changes in the program. An important
highlight of these recommendations was to strengthen state programs by
providing states with sufficient funds to extend effective,
evidence-based interventions to reach more to people with arthritis
within funded states. CDC has followed up on this and other key
recommendations. As a result of increased investment in funded states,
CDC has funded 12 states during the period of 2008-2011 with average
funding of approximately $500,000.
State arthritis programs have previously focused on building capacity
to disseminate and deliver evidence-based interventions. This new
funding opportunity builds on lessons learned from these activities,
with a new emphasis on embedding arthritis interventions in existing
systems to exponentially expand access to and use of these
interventions.
States use CDC funding to strengthen partnerships with state
Arthritis Foundation chapters and others, increase public awareness,
improve their ability to monitor the burden of arthritis, coordinate
activities, and increase the availability of interventions. The central
aim is to improve the quality of life among persons affected by
arthritis. States increase awareness that something can be done for
arthritis and promote self-management education and physical activity.
The National Association of Chronic Disease Directors (NACDD)
recently awarded Arthritis Integrated Dissemination Project Grant
funding to nine state health departments. The states that will receive
this grant funding are Alaska, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky,
Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, and New York.
