Proposed Project
A Comprehensive Assessment of the
National Program to Eliminate Diabetes
Related Health Disparities in Vulnerable
Populations—New—National Center for
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In an effort to reduce diabetes-related
disparities, CDC’s Division of Diabetes
Translation’s (DDT) aims to concentrate
efforts where the greatest impact can be
achieved for populations with the
greatest burden or risk of diabetes. DDT
established the National Program to
Eliminate Diabetes Related Health
Disparities in Vulnerable Populations
(the ‘‘VP Program’’) to coordinate and
integrate efforts in high risk
communities involving CDC, national
organizations, and community partners.
Through the VP Program, six national
organizations received cooperative
agreements to assist a total of 18
communities with planning,
implementing, and evaluating
community-based diabetes control
programs. Each VP awardee is required
to use the community change
framework to guide their work with
three communities. CDC proposes to
collect information to learn more about
how the community change approach is
working in communities that are
significantly impacted by factors that
influence the disproportionate burden
of diabetes in vulnerable populations,
such as low income, limited education,
limited access to health care, and a
physical environment that does not
promote health. Semi-structured
telephone interviews will be conducted
with key personnel associated with each
national organization (VP awardee) and
each community site. One project
coordinator and one consultant at each
of the six VP grantee organizations
(n=12) will be asked to participate in an
interview of 1.5 hours in length. In
addition, an interview of approximately
1.5 hours will be conducted with one
community partner or one coalition
member at each community site (n=18)
and one site coordinator at each
community site (n=18) over a twomonth period. Data collection,
management, and analysis will be
conducted by a contractor working on
behalf of CDC.
The interviews will allow CDC to
explore capacity building and support
strategies used by the awardees to
facilitate community change, and
provide insight into the facilitators and
barriers experienced by the program
stakeholders in addressing diabetes in
their communities.
OMB approval is requested for one
year. Participation in the interviews is
voluntary and there are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The
total estimated annualized burden hours
are 72.
