NTAE Competitive Projects
An Extension Implementation Toolkit for the Diabetes Prevention Program Fellow: Vanessa Da Silva, University of Arizona Roadmap CE-NDPP (specific google sheet for this project roadmap) Fellow Report: The purpose of this project is to develop an NDPP Toolkit for use across CES. The team participated in Impact Collaborative in October 2021 to better develop plans for the project. A listening session was held on Nov 29th with all members of the national Extension Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) working group to learn about what would be helpful to have in a toolkit. The project team joined the subgroup on Connect Extension. The project team submitted a proposal for a session at NHOC to disseminate our toolkit (and/or help inform its development) and the proposal was accepted. The team will present at NHOC in May. Zena Edwards met with WSU Extension Health Economist (Bidisha Mandal) to find a way to use the NDPP Impact Toolkit ( Diabetes Prevention Impact Toolkit - Diabetes Toolkit (cdc.gov)) calculator for estimating Extension program (county, state or national level) health savings based on actual program outcomes. This is still a work in progress but they determined the “Employer” option is likely best for the Diabetes Prevention Impact Toolkit: Employer Input Dashboard - Diabetes Toolkit (cdc.gov). This could be a valuable tool for Extension professionals with well established programs. Jennifer, Soghra and Zena met to develop a “Case for Preventing Diabetes” draft similar to the page on AMA website. The project team created a first draft of an outline for our toolkit and started pulling out a roadmap, both on Google Docs.
