 Michigan
Background: Since 2000, Michigan Department of Public Health has
been funded as a standard project.
Lifestyle Intervention: Michigan uses a modified DASH diet that
focuses on eating more fruits, vegetables, whole grains and non–fat
dairy products along with physical activity recommendations. A
participant may receive up to 6 lifestyle counseling contacts depending
on her motivation and her screening results. Michigan uses the Health
Partnership Lifestyle Intervention (http://www.wiseinterventions.org*
) to support lifestyle behavior changes.
Screening: Clinical measurements include body mass index, blood
pressure, total and HDL cholesterol, glucose, and pulse regularity.
Lifestyle counselors also review other chronic disease risk factors such
as family history of diabetes and premature CVD, personal history of
cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diabetes (including pre-diabetes and
gestational diabetes), smoking status, nutrition practices, and physical
activity levels.
Sites: The Michigan Department of Community Health contracts with
nine local health departments and two federally qualified health centers
to implement the WISEWOMAN program in 29 counties around the state. The
program provides services to women in the urban areas of Detroit, Flint,
Grand Rapids, and Muskegon as well as serving Medically Underserved
Areas in rural Michigan.
Key Partners: Michigan Public Health Institute, local health
departments, federally qualified health centers, rural health clinics,
American Heart Association, American Cancer Society, Michigan State
University Extension, National Kidney Foundation of Michigan, Michigan
Diabetes Outreach Network, Michigan Coalition Against Domestic and
Sexual Violence, Michigan Inter-Tribal Council.
