DP24-004, PRC Core: Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention

Summary

This project aims to improve the implementation, scaling, and sustainability of Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES) programs, particularly for American Indian, African American, Hispanic/Latino, and rural populations, to address health disparities.

What they want

The project will build prevention research capacity, support a core research project to identify effective strategies for implementing DSMES, and collaborate with PRC Network partners to improve public health service delivery. The core research project involves a 3-phase study focused on rural residents in North Carolina with high diabetes prevalence. Phase I will understand determinants of DSMES uptake and sustained use, adapting program delivery using systems and implementation science. Phase II will test adapted DSMES program implementation using a hybrid trial Type 3 design across 12 sites (health departments and Federally Qualified Health Centers) with 240 participants. Phase III will disseminate and translate research products, developing a DSMES Toolkit companion guide and marketing plan.
