Proposed Project

    US-Mexico Border Diabetes Community Health Worker/Promotores de 
Salud Intervention Pilot Project--New--National Center for Chronic 
Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), El Paso field office, 
in collaboration with the United States/Mexico Border Diabetes 
Prevention and Control Programs and the Mexico Secretariat of Health is 
requesting approval for the US-MEXICO BORDER DIABETES COMMUNITY HEALTH 
WORKER/PROMOTORES de SALUD INTERVENTION PILOT PROJECT (CHW/PdS IPP) of 
the US-Mexico Diabetes Prevention and Control Project.
    The purpose of the project is to diminish the impact of diabetes on 
the border population by conducting activities to address the high 
prevalence of diabetes, related behavioral risk factors and improve the 
health services for the border population. This project is targeted for 
completion by September 2009. CHW/PdS IPP 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. 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 will include implementation of family centered community 
interventions that will provide biweekly 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 balance nutrition and 
physical activity and provide social support and coaching to the person 
living with diabetes and their family members. The CHW/PdSs will be 
trained in diabetes and community mobilization skills.
    A person living with diabetes and one high risk blood relative 
family members will receive an initial survey, to establish baseline to 
evaluate the model's effectiveness. Participants will receive a 
nutrition questionnaire to assess their nutrition knowledge and 
practice to tailor the nutrition education information, and will also 
receive a questionnaire to assess the cost effectiveness of the CHW/PdS 
model. The Diabetes Intervention Group (DIG) and the 1st Degree Blood 
Relative Intervention Group (BRIG), will receive tri-weekly visits, 
lasting approximately 2 hours. During these sessions the initial 
survey, the nutrition questionnaire and the cost effectiveness 
questionnaire will be given by the CHW/PdS to the participants.
    The Diabetes Delayed Intervention Group (DDIG) and the 1st Degree 
Blood Relative Delayed Intervention Group (BRDIG), will receive an 
initial site visit, lasting approximately 2 hours. At this time the 
initial participant and family member survey will be administered by 
the CHW/PdS. After the intervention phase is completed, estimated time 
line being 18 months, the DDIG and the BRDIG will receive group 
educational sessions for a period of one hour for 16 weeks.
    There are no costs to respondents except their time to participate 
in the survey.
