Passed by Congress in March 2010  A grant program for community-based diabetes prevention program model sites;  A program within the CDC to determine eligibility of entities to deliver community-based diabetes prevention services;  A training and outreach program for lifestyle intervention instructors; and  Evaluation, monitoring and technical assistance, and applied research carried out by the CDC.

 Training: established the Diabetes Training and Technical Assistance Center at Emory University  Intervention sites: community sites that deliver the intervention to reduce new cases of type 2 diabetes  Health Marketing: raising awareness among both health care providers and high risk populations  Program recognition: standards that help ensure program quality and consistency

 Systematically scale the translated model of the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) for high risk persons in collaboration with community-based organizations that have necessary infrastructure, health payers, health care professionals, public health, academia, and others to reduce the incidence of type 2 diabetes in the U.S.

 CDC has contracted with Emory University to establish the Diabetes Training and Technical Assistance Center (DTTAC) and developed Master Trainer curriculum and unified Lifestyle Coach curriculum –info posted on website July 2011  CDC and partners developed the standards for program recognition. The standards for the Diabetes Prevention Recognition Program are with OMB now and approval is anticipated mid-November, assuming they have no specific changes.

 Intervention Sites = YMCA. UHG began providing reimbursement to these Y’s to deliver the lifestyle intervention for local employers for which UHG administers health insurance on OCTOBER 1, Currently 122 sites for program delivery  Health Marketing = CDC contracted with MACRO to do formative PR/marketing work that will be used to develop messaging and tools – focus groups have been conducted

Treating 100 high risk adults for 3 years: Prevents 15 new cases of type 2 diabetes (1) Prevents 162 missed work days (2) Avoids the need for BP/Chol pills in 11 people (3) Adds the equivalent of 20 perfect years of health (4) Avoids $91,400 in healthcare costs (5) 1 DPP Research Group.

 After 3 years a group version of the core lifestyle intervention was offered to placebo and metformin groups, as well as the original lifestyle group, including 4 group “BOOST” sessions each year  During the total 10-year follow-up, the incidences of type 2 diabetes was still reduced by 34% in the lifestyle group and by 18% in the metformin group  Lancet 2009; Published Online October 29,2009

 The original DPP 1 on 1 Format cost was $2780 per participant for 3 years, with inflation, $3500.  The cost of the newly developed group based format is $275 -$325 per participant when using trained YMCA staff (Ackermann, et al) or $550 per participant when using CDEs (Amundsen, et al)
