Proposed Project

    Evaluation of the Action Plan for the National Public Health 
Initiative on Diabetes and Women's Health--New--National Center for 
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Diabetes can have unique and profound effects on women's lives and 
health. For instance, diabetes is a more common cause of coronary heart 
disease among women than men, and the prognosis of heart disease is 
worse for women with diabetes than men with diabetes. The burden of 
diabetes for women is also unique because the disease can affect both 
mothers and their unborn children. It is projected that from 2000 to 
2025, women will represent more than half of all cases of diabetes in 
the United States.
    The National Public Health Initiative on Diabetes and Women's 
Health (``The Initiative'') was established to provide support and 
resources for the creation and implementation of a national public 
health Action Plan. The Initiative is co-sponsored by the American 
Diabetes Association (ADA), the American Association of Diabetes 
Educators (AADE), the American Public Health Association (APHA), the 
Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO), and the 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
    The Initiative's Action Plan identifies gaps in diabetes-related 
research and programmatic activities, and strategic objectives, within 
the areas of community health, diabetes state programs, education and 
community outreach, quality of care, research, and surveillance.
    CDC proposes to conduct a survey to assess collective progress 
toward achieving the objectives outlined in the Action Plan. The survey 
will also request information about the specific strategies, steps, 
resources and partnerships that have been employed to meet the 
objectives. Respondents will be the 4 co-sponsors of The Initiative, 20 
CDC-funded, state-based diabetes prevention and control programs 
(DPCPs), and approximately 100 private-sector public health 
organizations with a focus on diabetes and/or women's health. Survey 
responses will be compiled into a progress report and disseminated to 
respondents, allowing them to learn about each other's activities and 
the steps needed to replicate successful diabetes prevention and 
control efforts.
    Information will be collected once per year for a period of 3 
years, and the progress report will be updated annually to reflect 
recent activities and progress. Private-sector partners and state-based 
partners will submit one survey response per organization per year. Co-
sponsors will receive a modified version of the survey. Due to the size 
and complexity of the activities managed by co-sponsors, the co-
sponsoring organizations will have the option of submitting multiple 
survey responses from different areas of the organization, in order to 
capture the full range of activities conducted. It is estimated that 
each co-sponsor will submit an average of three responses. 
Participation in the survey is voluntary.
    Information will be collected electronically through a web-based 
survey tool. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. 
The total estimated annualized burden hours are 66.
