Proposed Project A Comprehensive Evaluation of an Approach to Self-Management: ‘‘Diabetes: Living My Best Life’’—New— National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description African-American women are twice as likely as white women to be diagnosed with diabetes, and two and one-half times as likely to die from diabetic complications. The onset of type 2 diabetes in African-American adults is attributable not only to a genetic link, but also to unhealthy lifestyle practices. The vast number of African-American women with type 2 diabetes report having a sedentary lifestyle and eating a diet high in fat. In addition to taking medications, lifestyle modifications, such as changes in diet, weight loss and participating in a low-impact exercise program, can significantly reduce the complications experienced by women with type 2 diabetes. Unfortunately, there is a scarcity of training and educational materials on type 2 diabetes targeting the African-American woman. The limited availability of targeted educational materials has undoubtedly contributed to an inability to manage and control this disease in this population and has resulted in a higher prevalence of disease-related comorbidities. There is a need for innovative interventions that can be used in a variety of settings, and that feature culturally appropriate assets that will engage African-American women with type 2 diabetes in a proactive role in the treatment and management of their disease. The proposed project is the evaluation of a CD-ROM educational program: ‘‘Diabetes: Living My Best Life.’’ This product has been developed to teach African American women with type 2 diabetes self-management skills. Social Learning Theory (SLT) informed the development of the product and the selection of the media elements. Selection of the information and tools was guided by input from an Advisory Board composed of professionals in the field and African American women with type 2 diabetes. To evaluate this program there will be two questionnaires: A Pretest and a Posttest. The two questionnaires will include questions on: • Respondent demographic information (Pretest only). • Respondent use of computers (Pretest only). • Knowledge of diabetes. • Self-efficacy in addressing diabetes self-management issues. • Diabetes self-care activities. • Feeling of empowerment around diabetes self-management. • Social learning theory elements (Posttest only). Pretest and Posttest intervention data will be collected by computer. Burden estimates are based observation of African-American women with type 2 diabetes who completed a formal pilot test of the Pretest and Posttest forms. There are no costs to respondents except their time to participate in the survey. The annualized burden hours are 44.

ATSDR is mandated pursuant to the 1980 Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and its 1986 Amendments, the Superfund Amendments and Re-authorization Act (SARA), to establish and maintain a national registry of persons who have been exposed to hazardous substances in the environment and a national registry of persons with illnesses or health problems resulting from such exposure. In 1988, ATSDR created the National Exposure Registry (NER) as a result of this legislation in an effort to provide scientific information about potential adverse health effects people develop as a result of low-level, longterm exposure to hazardous substances. The NER is a program which collects, maintains, and analyzes information obtained from participants (called registrants) whose exposure to selected toxic substances at specific geographic Frequency of response 400 1,200 1 1 Average burden/response (in hours) 1 10/60 areas in the United States has been documented. Relevant health data and demographic information are also included in the NER databases. The NER databases furnish the information needed to generate appropriate and valid hypotheses for future activities such as epidemiologic studies. The NER also serves as a mechanism for longitudinal health investigations that follow registrants over time to ascertain adverse health effects and latency periods. Participants in each subregistry are interviewed initially with a baseline questionnaire. An identical follow-up telephone questionnaire is administered to participants every three years until the criteria for terminating a specific subregistry have been met. The annual number of participants varies greatly from year to year. Two factors influencing the number of respondents per year are the number of subregistry updates that are scheduled and whether a new subregistry will be established. There is no cost to the respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 834.
