Site Summary:
The
Hawaii Diabetes Control Program (DCP) has received funding from the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention since 1987. Activities
supported by the Hawaii DCP include the following:
-
Conduct
ongoing public awareness campaign. Using a multimedia
approach, the Hawaii DCP conducts a targeted, multipronged
campaign. Components include two free, 24-hour telephone
messages in five languages; a television segment about diabetes
that aired as part of a local health and wellness series; a
statewide resource directory for people with diabetes (developed
in collaboration with the Hawaii Association for Diabetes
Educators); and a school-based diabetes awareness campaign
(conducted in collaboration with the Hawaii Department of
Education).
-
Publish
patient education materials. The CDC patient guide for
diabetes control, Take Charge of Your Diabetes,
was revised to include photographs and graphics depicting
Hawaii’s local culture. The revised guide also provides
information about the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial.
-
Build
capacity for community interventions. The Hawaii DCP held an
orientation program on the "Diabetes Today" model to
teach public health nurses how to mobilize community members and
resources for diabetes prevention and control activities.
