CDC is requesting an emergency clearance for this data collection with 
a two week public comment period. CDC is requesting OMB approval of

    Proposed Project: US-Mexico Border Diabetes Prevention and Control 
Project--Phase II Community Intervention Pilot Project--New--National 
Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The Pan American 
Health Organization (PAHO), El Paso field office, in collaboration with 
the CDC-funded United States/Mexico Border Diabetes Prevention and 
Control Programs, and the Mexico Secretariat of Health will conduct 
Phase II of the US-Mexico Diabetes Prevention and Control Project. This 
phase II is the natural follow-up to the household survey to determine 
the burden of diabetes on the border (Phase I).
    The purpose of the project is to diminish the impact of diabetes on 
the border population by conducting activities in two related and 
chronological phases (prevalence study and intervention program). Phase 
I, which will assess the prevalence of diabetes, related behavioral 
risk factors, and assess the health services for the border population, 
was completed in October 2002. Phase II will be implemented in eleven 
pilot communities, where persons living with diabetes will be 
randomized to either intervention group participant (IGP) or delayed 
intervention control group participant (DICGP). The DICGP will receive 
usual diabetes self management education by the health care provider in 
a community health center setting, and the IGP will be assigned to 
receive diabetes self management education reinforcement and coaching 
social support at the community/home level, by a Community Health 
Worker/Promotor de Salud (CHW/PdS). These programs will be culturally 
and linguistically appropriate and will include the participation of 
community health workers (promotores) and primary healthcare providers 
working as a team approach.
    Activities for Phase II will include implementation of community 
interventions that will provide weekly site visits to the person living 
with diabetes and provide follow-up and support for the participant and 
their family. Two family members, found with the highest risk factor 
rating will also be intervened by the CHW/PdS. The CHW will reinforce 
educational messages on balanced nutrition and physical activity and 
provide social support and coaching to the person living with diabetes 
and their family members. An equal number of participants will be in 
the delayed intervention control group. This group and their high risk 
family members will complete an initial household survey and a final 
household survey at the end of 18 months. The CHWs will be trained in 
diabetes and community mobilization skills. The household survey will 
be repeated in the fifth year of the project for evaluation purposes.
    There is no cost to the respondents.
