Background: Since 2000, South Dakota Department of Public Health
has been funded as a standard project.

Healthy Living for nutrition assessment and counseling. The physical
activity intervention is modeled after "Active Living Every Day"
from the Cooper Institute. Women receive four individual counseling
sessions per year.
Screening: Risk factor screening includes blood pressure, glucose,
cholesterol and other lipids testing as well as assessing weight, medical
history, tobacco use, poor diet, and physical inactivity.
Sites: South Dakota contracts statewide with more than 250 clinics to
provide Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program services. The
same providers will offer WISEWOMAN screening and refer women to lifestyle
interventions.
Key Partners: Indian Health Services, Avera–McKennan, Wellmark Blue
Cross Blue Shield of South Dakota, the Multicultural Center, South Dakota
State University College of Nursing, South Dakota State University
Extension Educators, and the American Cancer Society.
