Availability of the National Diabetes Prevention Program in United States Counties, March 2017

Year: 2018

Type: article

Abstract: These maps show publicly available in-person lifestyle change program (LCP) classes, as of March 1, 2017, by diabetes incidence (Map A) and socioeconomic status (Map B) at the county level.Because higher diabetes incidence is correlated with lower socioeconomic status, this information may be useful in targeting type 2 diabetes prevention efforts.Organizations wanting to expand the availability of the LCP may use these maps to determine counties most in need of new programs.The opinions expressed by authors contributing to this journal do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Public Health Service, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or the authors' affiliated institutions.www.cdc.gov/pcd/issues/2018/18_0063.htm• Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 1
