Proposed Project 

Assessing the Adoption and Utility of 

National Diabetes Education Program 

(NDEP) Tools and Resources for Health 

Care Professionals and Health Education 

Facilitators—New—National Center for 

Chronic Disease Prevention and Health 

Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The National Diabetes Education 

Program (NDEP) is a joint program of 

the Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention and the National Institutes of 

Health. The NDEP develops, 

disseminates, and supports the adoption 

of evidence-based, culturally and 

linguistically appropriate tools and 

resources that emphasize the 

importance of controlling blood glucose 

levels, blood pressure, and blood lipids, 

as well as carrying out other preventive 

care practices in a timely manner to 

improve health outcomes and overall 

quality of life. 

In 2012 and 2013, CDC/NDEP 

collaborated with relevant partners to 

update two major diabetes education 

resources: ‘‘New Beginnings: A 

Discussion Guide for Living Well with 

Diabetes’’ (hereafter referred to as New 

Beginnings), and ‘‘Working Together to 

Manage Diabetes: A Guide and Toolkit 

for Pharmacy, Podiatry, Optometry, and 

Dentistry’’ (hereafter referred to as the 

PPOD Guide and Toolkit). New 

Beginnings was developed for diabetes 

educators, health educators, health 

ministers, lay health workers and others 

who facilitate discussion groups about 

diabetes self-management. New 

Beginnings has been revised to make it 

a more accessible and flexible resource 

that can be adapted for use in diabetes 

self-management education classes and 

in other settings. The PPOD Guide and 

Toolkit are targeted to health care 

providers in pharmacy, podiatry, 

optometry, and dentistry. The PPOD 

Guide and Toolkit are designed to 

promote a collaborative, team-based 

approach to comprehensive diabetes 

care. Both resources are being promoted 

to key target audiences in 2014. 

In order to understand how target 

audiences use the resources and apply 

the recommended diabetes control 

strategies, CDC plans to conduct a series 

of surveys that will assess adoption, use, 

and satisfaction with the resources. 

Respondents for the PPOD Guide and 

toolkit assessment will include health 

care providers in the private sector, state 

and local government, and federal 

government. Respondents for the New 

Beginnings assessment will include 

health education facilitators in the 

private sector and state and local 

government. CDC will coordinate the 

information collection and assessment 

activities with events and opportunities 

sponsored by professional 

organizations, and CDC-sponsored 

Webinars. Survey findings will be used 

to guide further improvements to the 

resources, make adjustments to 

promotional and educational strategies, 

and inform CDC’s technical assistance 

related to diabetes education. 

OMB approval is requested for one 

year. All information will be collected 

electronically. Participation in the 

surveys is voluntary and there are no 

costs to respondents other than their 

time. The total estimated annualized 

burden hours are 233.
