Proposed Project

    Understanding the Community Context of the Diabetes Education in 
Tribal Schools Project--New--National Center for Chronic Disease 
Prevention and Health Promotion/Division of Diabetes Translation 
(NCCDPHP/DDT), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
    Background and Brief Description: This study is part of a larger 
evaluation of the multi-year Diabetes Education in Tribal Schools 
(DETS) project to develop and pilot test a science based diabetes 
prevention curriculum for Native American school children. As part of 
the overall evaluation (before the curriculum is pilot tested), it will 
be important to understand the community context and identify 
implementation issues. Through a series of qualitative interviews with 
key informants, the study will obtain information about: (1) The 
community's experience with diabetes; (2) community readiness to adopt 
the DETS curriculum; (3) the connection between the DETS project and 
the community; and (4) the best fit between the curriculum and 
community schools.
    The participants for this study will include key informants in five 
categories: Community leaders, DETS Advisory Board members, DETS 
Curriculum Subcommittee members, community teachers, and community 
parents. Potential participants will be identified by DETS Subcommittee 
members and invited to participate in this research activity. These 
individuals will be invited to participate because they are already 
involved in the project and are familiar with the curriculum.
    A maximum of 18 individuals from each category will be interviewed 
for a total of 90 participants. All participants will be adults, both 
male and female, over the age of 18. It is expected that approximately 
75% of participants will be Native American and 25% will be non-Native 
American. There is no cost to respondents other than their time.
