Proposed Project

    A Comprehensive Assessment of the National Program to Eliminate 
Diabetes Related Health Disparities in Vulnerable Populations--New--
National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion 
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    In an effort to reduce diabetes-related disparities, CDC's Division 
of Diabetes Translation's (DDT) aims to concentrate efforts where the 
greatest impact can be achieved for populations with the greatest 
burden or risk of diabetes. DDT established the National Program to 
Eliminate Diabetes Related Health Disparities in Vulnerable Populations 
(the ``VP Program'') to coordinate and integrate efforts in high risk 
communities involving CDC, national organizations, and community 
partners.
    Through the VP Program, six national organizations received 
cooperative agreements to assist a total of 18 communities with 
planning, implementing, and evaluating community-based diabetes control 
programs. Each VP awardee is required to use the community change 
framework to guide their work with three communities. CDC proposes to 
collect information to learn more about how the community change 
approach is working in communities that are significantly impacted by 
factors that influence the disproportionate burden of diabetes in 
vulnerable populations, such as low income, limited education, limited 
access to health care, and a physical environment that does not promote 
health. Semi-structured telephone interviews will be conducted with key 
personnel associated with each national organization (VP awardee) and 
each community site. One project coordinator and one consultant at each 
of the six VP grantee organizations (n=12) will be asked to participate 
in an interview of 1.5 hours in length. In addition, an interview of 
approximately 1.5 hours will be conducted with one community partner or 
one coalition member at each community site (n=18) and one site 
coordinator at each community site (n=18) over a two-month period. Data 
collection, management, and analysis will be conducted by a contractor 
working on behalf of CDC.
    The interviews will allow CDC to explore capacity building and 
support strategies used by the awardees to facilitate community change, 
and provide insight into the facilitators and barriers experienced by 
the program stakeholders in addressing diabetes in their communities.
    OMB approval is requested for one year. Participation in the 
interviews is voluntary and there are no costs to respondents other 
than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 72.
