5148.0 Reducing Health Disparities: Preventing and Managing Chronic Disease

Wednesday, October 29, 2008: 12:30 PM
Oral
Chronic diseases, such as diabetes, high cholesterol and cardiovascular disease, have rapidly become our nation’s leading healthcare problem. Health disparities among populations remain a crucial challenge to the prevention and management of chronic disease. Presenters will address the planning, development and assessment of community-based strategies and policy, environment and systems-level (PES) interventions to manage chronic disease. Specific examples will be drawn from the San Diego Diabetes Coalition and Community Approaches to Cardiovascular Health (CATCH).
Session Objectives: 1) Describe the components that comprise partnership “synergy,” a proxy for partnership effectiveness. 2) Demonstrate how a collaborative process with state coalition members led to the development of an effective 10-year state diabetes plan. 3) Discuss the rationale for involving community residents in public health assessment and planning.
