Need and Use of Information Collection: The National Diabetes Education Program (NDEP) is a partnership of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and more than 200 public and private organizations. The longterm goal of the NDEP is to reduce the burden of diabetes and prediabetes in the United States, and its territories, by facilitating the adoption of proven strategies to prevent or delay the onset of diabetes and its complications. The NDEP objectives are to: (1) Increase awareness and knowledge of the seriousness of diabetes, its risk factors, and effective strategies for preventing type 2 diabetes and complications associated with diabetes; (2) increase the number of people who live well with diabetes and effectively manage their disease to prevent or delay complications and improve quality of life; (3) decrease the number of Americans with undiagnosed diabetes; (4) Among people at risk for type 2 diabetes, increase the number who make and sustain effective lifestyle changes to prevent diabetes; (5) facilitate efforts to improve diabetes-related health care and education, as well as systems for delivering care; (6) reduce health disparities in populations disproportionately burdened by diabetes; and (7) facilitate the incorporation of evidence-based research findings into health care practices. Multiple strategies have been devised to address the NDEP objectives. These have been described in the NDEP Strategic Plan and include: (1) Promoting and implementing culturally and linguistically-appropriate diabetes awareness and education campaigns for a wide variety of audiences; (2) identifying, disseminating, and supporting the adoption of evidencebased, culturally and linguisticallyappropriate tools and resources that support behavior change, improved quality of life, and better diabetes outcomes; (3) expanding NDEP reach and visibility through collaborations with public, private, and nontraditional partners, and use of national, state, and local media, traditional and social media, and other relevant channels; and (4) conducting and supporting the evaluation of NDEP resources, promotions, and other activities to improve future NDEP initiatives. The NDEP evaluation will document the extent to which the NDEP program has been implemented, and how successful it has been in meeting program objectives. The evaluation relies heavily on data gathered from existing national surveys such as National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), and the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), among others for this information.

(0925-0552). Need and Use of Information Collection: The 
National Diabetes Education Program (NDEP) is a partnership of the 
National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Centers for Disease Control 
and Prevention (CDC) and more than 200 public and private 
organizations.
    The longterm goal of the NDEP is to reduce the burden of diabetes 
and pre-diabetes in the United States, and its territories, by 
facilitating the adoption of proven strategies to prevent or delay the 
onset of diabetes and its complications. The NDEP objectives are to: 
(1) Increase awareness and knowledge of the seriousness of diabetes, 
its risk factors, and effective strategies for preventing type 2 
diabetes and complications associated with diabetes; (2) increase the 
number of people who live well with diabetes and effectively manage 
their disease to prevent or delay complications and improve quality of 
life; (3) decrease the number of Americans with undiagnosed diabetes; 
(4) Among people at risk for type 2 diabetes, increase the number who 
make and sustain effective lifestyle changes to prevent diabetes; (5) 
facilitate efforts to improve diabetes-related health care and 
education, as well as systems for delivering care; (6) reduce health 
disparities in populations disproportionately burdened by diabetes; and 
(7) facilitate the incorporation of evidence-based research findings 
into health care practices.
    Multiple strategies have been devised to address the NDEP 
objectives. These have been described in the NDEP Strategic Plan and 
include: (1) Promoting and implementing culturally and linguistically-
appropriate diabetes awareness and education campaigns for a wide 
variety of audiences; (2) identifying, disseminating, and supporting 
the adoption of evidence-based, culturally and linguistically-
appropriate tools and resources that support behavior change, improved 
quality of life, and better diabetes outcomes; (3) expanding NDEP reach 
and visibility through collaborations with public, private, and 
nontraditional partners, and use of national, state, and local media, 
traditional and social media, and other relevant channels; and (4) 
conducting and supporting the evaluation of NDEP resources, promotions, 
and other activities to improve future NDEP initiatives.
    The NDEP evaluation will document the extent to which the NDEP 
program has been implemented, and how successful it has been in meeting 
program objectives. The evaluation relies heavily on data gathered from 
existing national surveys such as National Health and Nutrition 
Examination Survey (NHANES), the National Health Interview Survey 
(NHIS), and the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS),

audiences on key impact measures that are necessary to effectively 
evaluate the program. Approval is requested for a survey of audiences 
targeted by the National Diabetes Education Program including people at 
risk for diabetes and people with diabetes and their families and the 
public.
