Proposed Project
Evaluation of the Action Plan for the National Public Health
Initiative on Diabetes and Women's Health--New--National Center for
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Approximately 24 million Americans have diabetes, and more than 9 million of these individuals are women. It is projected that from 2000 to 2025, women will represent more than half of all cases of diabetes in the United States.
Diabetes can have unique and profound effects on women's lives and health. For instance, diabetes is a more common cause of coronary heart disease among women than men. In addition, among people with diabetes, the prognosis of heart disease is worse for women than men, with women having poorer quality of life and lower survival rates. The burden of diabetes for women is also unique because the disease can affect mothers and their unborn children. After pregnancy, as many as 10-50% of women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes within five years of delivery. The offspring of women with a history of gestational diabetes are also at risk for becoming obese during childhood or adolescence, which may increase their risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life.
To address the burden of diabetes on women's health, the National
Public Health Initiative on Diabetes and Women's Health (``The
Initiative'') was established to provide support and resources for the creation and implementation of a national public health Action Plan.
The Initiative is co-sponsored by the American Diabetes Association
(ADA), the American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE), the
American Public Health Association (APHA), the Association of State and
Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO), and the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC). CDC's Division of Diabetes Translation is dedicated to the prevention and control of diabetes, and to reducing or eliminating health disparities through targeted research, programs, and partnerships.
The Initiative's Action Plan identifies gaps in diabetes-related research and programmatic activities, and strategic objectives, within the areas of: (1) Community health; (2) diabetes state programs; (3) education and community outreach; (4) quality of care; (5) research; and (6) surveillance. Co-sponsors of the Initiative and other partner organizations have been encouraged to act on the deficiencies

and priorities identified in the Action Plan.
CDC proposes to conduct a survey to assess collective progress toward achieving the objectives outlined in the Action Plan. The survey will also request information about the specific strategies, steps, resources and partnerships that have been employed to meet the objectives. Respondents will be the 4 co-sponsors of The Initiative, 51
CDC-funded, state-based diabetes prevention and control programs, and approximately 230 private-sector public health organizations with a focus on diabetes and/or women's health. Survey responses will be compiled into a report and disseminated to respondents, allowing them to learn about each other's activities and the steps needed to replicate successful diabetes prevention and control efforts.
Because organizations are in various stages of Action Plan implementation, information will be collected once per year for a period of 3 years, and the report will be updated annually to reflect recent activities and progress. Private-sector partners will submit one survey response per organization per year. Co-sponsors will receive a modified version of the survey. Due to the size and complexity of the activities managed by co-sponsors, the co-sponsoring organizations will have the option to submit multiple survey responses from different areas of the organization, in order to capture the full range of activities conducted. It is estimated that each co-sponsor will submit an average of three responses.
Information will be collected electronically through web-based surveys. There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
