November 14: WORLD DIABETES DAY
By admin | November 15, 2014
Diabetes is a chronic condition that continues to be a burden throughout the world. As we observe World Diabetes Day, let’s take a closer look at resources for Latinos here in the US.
The National Diabetes Education Program (NDEP) just added some new, easy, practical and effective tools to Kit El camino hacia la buena salud. The kit now includes a full set of resources to help you conduct diabetes prevention activities. You can also use the resources to complement your existing health or wellness activities.
One of the new features, exclusively for users of Kit El camino hacia la buena salud, is the ability to connect and share information on Campeones del Kit El camino hacia la buena salud. This new NDEP community of practice is the perfect platform to engage partners, ask questions, discover best practices, and share successes and lessons learned.
The kit also features new online training in English (training will be available in Spanish soon!). The 30-minute course includes an introduction to evidence-based strategies for reducing the risk for type 2 diabetes, a review of the components of the toolkit and implementation strategies.
Current users of Kit El camino hacia la buena salud are encouraged to check out the new features and supplement existing tools with the new resources like the evaluation guide in English or Spanish. For more information or to order resources, visit www.cdc.gov/diabetes/ndep or call 1-800-CDC-INFO (1-800-232-4636)/TTY 1-888-232-6348.
The NDEP is a program of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health. For questions contact Betsy Rodríguez, CDC/NDEP Deputy Director, at bjr6@cdc.gov.
