Still a work in progress but determined the “Employer” option is likely best: Diabetes Prevention Impact Toolkit: Employer Input Dashboard - Diabetes Toolkit (cdc.gov). This could be a valuable tool for Extension professionals with well established programs. 12.21.2021 & 1.31.2022: Jennifer, Soghra and Zena met to develop a “Case for Preventing Diabetes” draft similar to the page on AMA website. ● NHOC Session accepted! Our session will be on Fri May 6th at 9:30am. ● Had a group meeting with all key informants to tell them about our project and learn how they can support us ● Chose sections from our outline to work on, Soghra shared AMA website (DPP toolkit - https://amapreventdiabetes.org) ● Rose interviewed the team and will draft a publication on our project Experience(s) working with your Catalysts and Key Informants: Rick and Chuck have been great. They are responsive and readily available, and their perspective as former Extension administrators enriches our discussions. It is very helpful to have the perspective of Extension professionals who are not as familiar with the Diabetes Prevention Program, and whose objectivity helps clarify our goals.
