Using Traditional Foods and Sustainable Ecological Approaches for
Health Promotion and Diabetes Prevention in American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) Communities
Announcement Type: New – Type 1
Funding Opportunity Number: CDC DP08-819
Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance Number: 93.945
Key Dates:
Letter of Intent Deadline (LOI):
May 22, 2008Application Deadline: June 6, 2008
Authority: Public Health Service (PHS) Act, as amended, Sections 317 (k) (2), 42 U.S.C. 247b(k)(2).
Background: Type 2 diabetes was rare among American Indians until the 1950s. Since that time, diabetes has become one of the most common and serious illnesses among American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN). In 2002, the age-adjusted prevalence of diabetes was 15.3 percent among AI/AN adults, in contrast to 7.3 percent for the overall U.S. population.
Alarmingly, the prevalence of diabetes is increasing among younger AI/ANs. From 1994-2004 the age-adjusted prevalence of diagnosed diabetes doubled (from 8.5 to 17.1 per 1,000 population) among AI/ANs less than 35 years old who use Indian Health Service healthcare services.
The explanations for high rates of diabetes among AI/ANs are not limited to recent societal trends and individual lifestyle choices. They are rooted in historical legacies of forced dispossession of lands, cultures, and languages. Understanding and acknowledging the complex array of factors involved in diabetes causation and care are important steps in addressing this phenomenon.
In every geographic area of the United States, AI/ANs had long histories of gathering and/or cultivating plants and hunting and/or fishing for food. Many communities (including urban settings) have established programs that maintain strong cultural traditions to enhance or re-introduce indigenous foods and practices specific to the landscape, history, and culture of the people. Approaches that support traditional knowledge and establish community policies to make sustainable changes may help prevent diabetes and promote health in physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional dimensions.
Efforts to engage community members and keep them informed of the progress and continuity of these approaches are critical. These interventions may help increase community knowledge about diabetes prevention through traditional community wisdom about health, increase confidence in community-based health practices, and provide hope for the health of future generations.
Purpose: The purpose of the program is to 1) support community use of traditional foods and sustainable ecological approaches for diabetes prevention and health promotion in American Indian and Alaska Native communities; and 2) engage communities in identifying and sharing the stories of healthy traditional ways of eating, being active, and communicating health information and support for diabetes prevention and wellness.
This program will not constitute research. The program exemplifies public health practice. The project indicators do not involve gathering data on individual behaviors or outcomes and do not require human subject approvals.
This program addresses the “Healthy People 2010” focus area of diabetes (5), which is aimed at addressing health disparities among racial and ethnic minority populations.
Measurable outcomes of the program will be in alignment with one (or more) of the following performance goal(s) for the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP): (1) Healthy People in Every Stage of Life (all subcategories) and (2) Healthy People in Healthy Places (all subcategories).
This announcement is only for non-research activities supported by CDC/ATSDR. If research is proposed, the application will not be reviewed. For the definition of research, please see the CDC web site at the following Internet address: http://www.cdc.gov/od/science/regs/hrpp/researchDefinition.htm
