Border Health Strategic Initiative: Overview and Introduction to a
Community-based Model for Diabetes Prevention and Control
This flowchart shows how the case studies and other articles
within this issue of Preventing Chronic Disease relate to one another.
Two papers describe the Special Action Groups that provide the “glue” that holds
together the other five components, or target populations, of the Border Health
Strategic Initiative: People with Diabetes, Providers, Families of People with
Diabetes, Communities, and Schools. Arrows point from the Special Action Group to
each of the five components. Each component represents a case study within this
issue. Arrows also point from the Special Action Group to “Existing
Partnerships” and “New Partnerships” to indicate that the Special Action Groups
interacted with these two kinds of partnerships, as described in the text. The
links below will take you to each article.
