For your final project you will be crafting a program proposal to address diabetes in Alabama.
The scenario will provide you with basic information needed to begin your proposal.
Scenario
You are the Manager of the Diabetes Program (http://www.adph.org/diabetes/). at the Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH) (http://adph.org/). Alabama has some of the highest adult diabetes rates in the country (http://gis.cdc.gov/grasp/diabetes/DiabetesAtlas.html).
To combat this issue, the ADPH has an extensive diabetes prevention and control program. You are particularly concerned about the low numbers of patients who are completing daily foot and blood checks, and that targets set for 2018 will not be met for these behaviors (http://www.adph.org/diabetes/assets/Target95_2018.pdf). After discussing your concern with the Director of the Division of Disease Prevention and Control (your supervisor), she has allotted you an extra $50,000 over two years ($25,000 per year) to try to make improvements specifically with these patient behaviors. Before she will release the funding to you, you need to develop a complete intervention plan. You engage a group of state-level stakeholders, including the local chapter of the American Diabetes Association (http://www.diabetes.org/in-my-community/local-offices/birmingham alabama/?referrer=https://www.google.com/) to develop a strategic intervention plan for how to address this issue. As a committee, you review statewide data and note that the counties west of Montgomery have the highest diabetes prevalence (http://www.countyhealthrankings.org/app/alabama/2016/measure/outcomes/60/data?sort=sc-2).
You decide to develop a pilot program for Wilcox County, based on its high rates of diabetes, it’s predominantly African American population, and its high poverty rate (http://www.census.gov/quickfacts/table/IPE120215/01131). The Wilcox County Health Department (http://adph.org/wilcox/assets/2015AnnualReport_Wilcox.pdf) does not currently have any diabetes initiatives, but they too are concerned that diabetes patients in their county are not checking their feet and blood daily, and they have agreed to be involved in the development of the intervention. Luckily, they recently obtained a copy of a paper written about their county, and they share it with your stakeholder group as a way to orient the planning team (who come from across the state) to their area and their population (https://povertystudies.nd.edu/assets/158523/casey_spreen_capstone_paper.pdf).
You are now ready to begin implementing the PRECEDE-PROCEED model with your planning committee.
The Assignment

Focus is to improve the rate of daily foot and blood checks among adults with diabetes in Wilcox County, Alabama. Describe why you have chosen a particular approach at each step of the process.
