Proposed Project

    Development and Evaluation of Eagle Books and Youth Eagle Books for 
American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs)--New--National Center for 
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The development of effective diabetes prevention programs targeting 
AI/AN youth is a compelling priority in education and public health. 
AI/AN individuals develop type 2 diabetes at younger ages, experience 
more years of disease burden and have a high probability of developing 
diabetes-related complications. However, research shows that type 2 
diabetes can be prevented or delayed with healthy foods and nutrition, 
moderate physical activity, and social support. A number of health 
communication products have been developed specifically for AI/AN 
youth. These include the Eagle Books, the Youth Books, and the Diabetes 
Education in Tribal Schools (DETS) curriculum.
    The Eagle Books are a series of four books that have been 
incorporated into the lesson plans for the Kindergarten (K) through 
fourth grades of the DETS curriculum. The materials are a result of a 
project that engaged eight Tribal Colleges and Universities, NIH, CDC, 
and IHS to develop culturally-grounded, scientifically sound lessons to 
promote awareness about diabetes and lifestyle adaptations. CDC is 
currently developing additional books for Native American youth ages 
nine to thirteen (the ``Youth Books'').
    CDC plans to conduct a descriptive evaluation of the Eagle Books 
and the DETS curriculum. Data collection will involve discussion groups 
and in-depth interviews conducted during site visits to 12 selected 
American Indian communities. Each site visit will consist of: (i) 
Interviews with up to 3 community health representatives; (ii) 
Interviews with up to 2 school administrators from a local elementary 
school and a middle school; (iii) One discussion (focus) group with 
teachers from a local elementary school and one discussion group with 
teachers from a

[[Page 21748]]

local middle school; (iv) Two discussion (focus) groups with children: 
One group with younger children (grades K-1) and one group with older 
children (grades 2-4); (v) Two discussion (focus) groups with parents: 
one group with parents of younger children and one group with parents 
of older children; and (vi) Observational tours of the community.
    During the site visits, respondents will be asked to provide 
general feedback about the Eagle Books and how the Eagle Books have 
affected knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors; how materials currently 
support or could be used to support other local diabetes prevention 
efforts; and how the planned Youth Books could support the DETS 
curriculum. De-identified information will be collected and analyzed by 
staff from CDC's Native Diabetes Wellness Program (NDWP), with the 
assistance of a data collection contractor.
    Findings will be used to identify ``best practices'' with regard to 
implementation and use of the Eagle Books and DETS curriculum; to 
inform the development of similar materials; and to enhance current and 
future community outreach and technical assistance efforts aimed at 
preventing or controlling diabetes in AI/AN youth.
    Information will be collected in an average of four communities per 
year over three years. Participation is voluntary and there are no 
costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated 
annualized burden hours are 132.
