“…Messages, materials, and campaigns were pretested with audience members to ensure relevance, understanding, and usefulness. An example of the process used in testing NDEP messages and materials for the Game Plan tool kit for consumers is one that used the results of testing with overweight individuals to validate the content and format and identify needs for future revisions of the resource (32). At every opportunity, representatives from committees and work groups are invited to participate.…”

The National Diabetes Education Program (NDEP) was established to translate findings from diabetes research studies into clinical and public health practice. Over 20 years, NDEP has built a program with partnership engagement that includes science-based resources for multiple population and stakeholder audiences. Throughout its history, NDEP has developed strategies and messages based on communication research and relied on established behavior change models from health education, communication, and social marketing. The program's success in continuing to engage diverse partners after 20 years has led to time-proven and high-quality resources that have been sustained. Today, NDEP maintains a national repository of diabetes education tools and resources that are high quality, science- and audience-based, culturally and linguistically appropriate, and available free of charge to a wide variety of audiences. This review looks back and describes NDEP's evolution in transforming and communicating diabetes management and type 2 diabetes prevention strategies through partnerships, campaigns, educational resources, and tools and identifies future opportunities and plans.

“…9 There have been a number of review articles published speculating on the effectiveness of lifestyle intervention programs in weight loss and diabetes prevention, but none reviewing the DPP as a community intervention has been published to the author's knowledge. [10][11][12][13] The DPP curriculum is freely available online and is beginning to be used in modified versions across the country in a variety of settings. 14 The authors of the DPP have also held at least 3 standardized trainings on the GO-YDPP in different states that the author is aware of for dietitians, community health educators, YMCA staff, and volunteer health workers to implement a group-based DPP in their communities.…”

“…[15][16][17][18][19][20][21] The lifestyle coaching approach was also used by Tuomilehto et al 4 in the Finnish Diabetes Prevention Study Group with similar results. Lifestyle coaching can be implemented effectively at no additional cost in the daily work of many health professionals, including dietitians 13 and nurses. 30 Significant results were observed across the original DPP outcomes 3 as well as a reduction of metabolic syndrome components 22 and appropriate diet modifications.…”

Although the most effective intervention for type 2 diabetes prevention may not yet be identified, DPP-based interventions show promise for long-term sustainability. The DPP intervention is effective in treating overweight and obesity across a variety of settings and thus may prevent chronic diseases in which overweight and obesity are risk factors. Public health practitioners can use this successful intervention to help individuals lead healthier lives.

“…La seguridad alimentaria ha sido definida como el acceso por parte de todas las personas, en todo momento, a una alimentación que es segura, nutricionalmente adecuada, personalmente aceptable, y la cual es obtenida de una manera que respeta la dignidad humana (Campbell, Katamay and Connely, 1988). La seguridad alimentaria ha sido durante mucho tiempo un problema para los segmentos más vulnerables de la población.…”

<p>La comida es más que una fuente básica de nutrientes; es también un componente clave de nuestra cultura, central en nuestro sentido de identidad. Las identidades, sin embargo, no son construcciones sociales fijas, sino que se construyen y reconstruyen dentro de ciertas formaciones sociales reflejando los constreñimientos estructurales reales e imaginados y las experiencias de vida de los sujetos. Este artículo examina las relaciones dinámicas entre la comida, la identidad social y la experiencia de los/as1 inmigrantes. Como un período espacial y culturalmente transicional, el proceso inmigratorio introduce posibilidades de cambio así como de resistencia a los nuevos hábitos, nuevos comportamientos y nuevas experiencias culturales. Estos cambios, a la vez, afectan nuestra salud física y mental, nuestras auto-percepciones, y nuestras relaciones con los otros. Este artículo ofrece algunas apreciaciones analíticas sobre esta transición cultural, y su impacto sobre los constreñimientos sociales de la seguridad alimentaria entre un grupo de inmigrantes en Toronto, de modo tal de poder evaluar la compleja dinámica de la reconstrucción identitaria. Se plantea que tanto la política de igualdad como la política de reconocimiento son relevantes en la seguridad alimentaria de los/as inmigrantes. </p>
