  1. Type 2 Diabetes Screening & Education Program Margaret Lynn Yonekura, MD, Heather Kun, PhD, Luis Dimen, MD, Mariola Ficinski, MD

  2. Background • 6/24/08 News Bulletin from CDC • 24 million Americans (8%) now have diagnosed diabetes, an increase of 3 million in the past 2 years • Another 57 million have prediabetes • Striking racial/ethnic disparities among those with diagnosed diabetes: • 16.5% of Native Americans/Native Alaskans • 11.8% of African Americans • 10.4% of Hispanics • 7.4% of Asian Americans • 6.6% of Whites

  3. Background • Steady rise of diabetes in Los Angeles County among adults > 18 yr from 6.6% in 1997 to 8.6% in 2005 • Those with the least access to preventive health care at highest risk: • Rates for Latinos and AA double that of whites and Asian/PI • Rates increased most rapidly among poor (14% of 0-99% FPL vs 6.5% of >200%FPL) and non-HS graduates

  4. Objectives • Increase early identification of those at high-risk for developing diabetes and provide education and promote behavioral changes to prevent its development • Increase early diagnosis of those with diabetes and provide education and support to help them manage their disease • Educate providers to promote quality diabetes care in the community

  5. Chronic Disease Management Consortium • Participating hospitals • California Hospital Medical Center • Huntington Memorial Hospital • Good Samaritan Hospital • No pediatrics • Childrens Hospital Los Angeles • Only pediatrics • National Health Foundation • Functions for Consortium: grant writer, facilitator, design and management of web-based data system, and evaluator.

  6. Methods • All services provided in English and Spanish free of charge • Funded by a 3-year grant from the Good Hope Medical Foundation • Outreach education about type 2 diabetes and screening using the ADA Risk Test at a variety of community sites

  7. ADA Risk Test • Scoring 3-9 points: probably low risk for diabetes now but don’t forget about it. • Scoring 10 or more points: greater risk for diabetes. Get tested by your health care provider.

  8. Program Curricula • Developed by dieticians from three collaborating hospitals based on current recommendations • Each 2 hour workshop is highly interactive so that program participants are able to both learn and apply the facts, principles, and concepts being taught. • Action planning at end of each workshop • Olympic Food Guide is a tool developed to help participants make healthier food choices.

  9. Standardization • Same training for Health Educators • CHW/promotoras • MPH/RD • Same “take aways” from workshops • Consistent number and sequence of workshops • Same clinical and self-reported outcomes

  10. Methods • Food, Fitness, and Diabetes Prevention • Intake process: health screen, activity & nutrition assessment • 4 weekly 2-hour sessions conducted by either CHW/promotoras or professional staff (MPH or RD) • 3-6 month follow-up: repeat health screen, activity & nutrition reassessments • Telephone education and support groups as needed

  11. Healthy Lifestyles American Culture The Gap! (It is Widening!) Food, Fitness & Diabetes Prevention: Modules • Diabetes prevention, good nutrition, and our health • Healthy meals & healthy movement • Reading food labels • Heart health & disease prevention

  12. Methods • Living with Diabetes • Intake process: health screen, diabetes knowledge and self-efficacy assessment, activity & nutrition assessment • 4 weekly 2-hour sessions • 3-6 month follow-up: repeat health screen, diabetes knowledge and self-efficacy reassessment, activity & nutrition reassessments • Telephone education and support groups as needed • Chronic Disease Self-Management Program • 6 weekly 2-hour sessions conducted by certified lay leaders, at least one of whom has a chronic condition

  13. Living with Diabetes: Modules • About diabetes and monitoring your body Take Charge! with Diabetes Health Record www.caldiabetes.org • Nutrition, part 1 Carbohydrates and sugar, protein & fat Plate method & carbohydrate counting 3. Nutrition, part 2 Reading food labels, healthy kitchen, recipes & physical activity 4. Preventing complications and medications

  25. Barriers • Implementation delayed due to difficulties finding a culturally appropriate curriculum • Living with Diabetes/Viviendo Con Diabetes from National Alliance for Hispanic Health • California’s Guidelines for Care • Consortium’s Healthy Eating Lifestyle Program curriculum • Community distrust of some hospitals as legitimate source of health information • “The hospital is here for your health.” • Collaboration with community clinics

  26. Barriers • Difficulty recruiting participants for the Prevention Program • “reality doesn’t hit them (community members) until they get diabetes.” • Began marketing the prevention workshops as “healthy living” classes

  27. Public Health Implications • Benefits of Chronic Disease Management Consortium • Community hears consistent message • More efficient and cost effective • Able to secure grant funding • Centralized web-based data collection and reporting system • Provides real-time information on effectiveness of program and progress toward outcomes • Data for reports to superiors and current/future funders

  28. Public Health Implications • The model of non-profit hospitals working closely with local community clinics to address the diabetes epidemic is an important and replicable model. • Hospital staff provide outreach education & screening for type 2 diabetes and refer high risk individuals to clinics for diagnostic testing and on-going care. • Individuals at risk for diabetes participate in prevention workshops while those with diabetes learn critical self-management skills in workshops focused on Living with Diabetes.

  29. Public Health Implications • Patients benefit from improved understanding of what they can do to prevent diabetes and/or optimize their health and delay/prevent the onset of complications. • Clinics benefit because of increased patient compliance with regular preventive care and self management. • Hospitals benefit from decreased ER visits and hospitalizations for glucose control.

  30. Remember Take all these lessons one step at a time. Learn to live with diabetes and you will enjoy a full, healthy, and rewarding life.
