2. CDC Strategic Directions
Improve health security at home and around the world
Better prevent the leading causes of illness, injury, disability, and death
Strengthen public health/ health care collaboration

And, of course, the reason we need to focus on the lower rungs of the pyramid -- changing environments, systems and policies -- is that this approach is where we can have the greatest impact – an impact that begins to approach the scale of the problem and the roots of so many or our chronic diseases.
You are all familiar, of course, with the national data on chronic disease deaths and related behavioral risk factors.
Chronic disease continues to represent the leading causes of death in the United States – with deaths from heart disease and cancer dwarfing other conditions.
The figure on the right hand side of the slide shows the “Actual causes of death” – or deaths expressed by behavioral causes - which were first documented in a landmark study by Drs. McGinnis and Foege that was published in That work was subsequently updated in 2000.
The findings did not change much between 1993 and the major risk factors behind the leading causes of death in our nation continue to be tobacco use, poor diet, lack of physical inactivity and excessive alcohol consumption.
Moreover, researchers found that about half of all deaths in the US, nearly 47%, could be attributed to a limited number of largely preventable behaviors and exposures.
Addressing these modifiable risk factors is, of course, one of the lynch-pins to preventing chronic disease.

Graphs are state- and indicator-specific. State vs. US comparison, and racial/ethnic and education disparities depicted. Some estimates suppressed due to small sample sizes.

9. Map: Blood Pressure (Georgia)
Map for GA that depicts county-level estimates for persons taking medication for high blood pressure.

10. Map: Cholesterol (Georgia)

11. Map: Diabetes (Georgia)
For each of the SIM states we have created a map that shows at the county level the distribution of the measure. This helps states to identify where they may want to target interventions.

13. Definition of Population Health
Kindig et al (adapted)
Population health includes factors that influence health outcomes of individuals, including the distribution and equity of such outcomes across various segments of society
(Kindig et a. Am J Public Health. 2003;93: ).

14. Expanded Chronic Care Model
The Expanded Chronic Care Model provides a graphical depiction of the core functions of state and community-based public health and the health care system. It also can provide clues to help solve some rather significant challenges and offer thoughts about the intersections that exist between public health and the health care system.

15. Federal Resources
Resources from CMS (innovation Center), CDC, ACL and HRSA—not a complete list.

16. What is State Innovation Model (SIM)?
Testing the ability of state government to use their regulatory and policy levers to accelerate health transformation
Improve population health
Transform healthcare payment & delivery systems
Decrease total per capita health care spending
Public and private collaboration with multi-payer and multi-stakeholder engagement
Cooperative agreement between awardee and the Innovation Center
Provides technical and financial assistance to provide better care and better health at lower cost through quality improvement to the state population

20. Increase access to healthy foods, physical activity
CDC State Program Funding for Diabetes, Tobacco, and Obesity Prevention
Tobacco: Prevent tobacco use, eliminate secondhand exposure, promote quitting
Diabetes: Increase A1C reporting, awareness of prediabetes, and participation in self management education
All 50 state health departments are funded to work on diabetes, tobacco, and obesity prevention and control
Diabetes: Part of the State Public Health Actions (GA is Basic Plus only at $635,818 total); Basic strategies are 1) Promote reporting of blood pressure and A1C measures; 2) Promote awareness of prediabetes among people at high risk for type 2 diabetes; 3) Promote participation in the Diabetes Self Management Education programs
Tobacco: States are funded to eliminate secondhand smoke exposure, promote quitting, prevent initiation, and identify and eliminate disparities.
Obesity: Part of the State Public Health Actions (GA is Basic Plus only at $635,818 total); Basic strategies are 1) Promote the adoption of food service guidelines/nutrition standards, which includes sodium; 2) Promote the adoption of PE/PA in schools; 3) Promote adoption of PA in early care and education (ECE) and worksites

21. Chronic Disease Self-Management Program
Low-cost, community-based class for people with chronic diseases developed at Stanford University
A CDC meta-analysis of CDSMP showed improvements in fatigue, depression, health distress, etc.
CDC’s Arthritis Program funds 12 state arthritis programs that can offer CDSMP as a proven intervention
• CDSMP is a low-cost, community-based, 6-week series of classes for people with chronic diseases that was developed at Stanford University.
The program specifically addresses arthritis, diabetes, lung and heart disease, but teaches skills useful for managing a variety of chronic diseases.
Subjects covered include: 1) techniques to deal with problems such as frustration, fatigue, pain and isolation, 2) appropriate exercise for maintaining and improving strength, flexibility, and endurance, 3) appropriate use of medications, 4) communicating effectively with family, friends, and health professionals, 5) nutrition, and, 6) how to evaluate new treatments.
A CDC meta-analysis of CDSMP showed that it produces small to moderate improvements in fatigue, depression, health distress, and that it fosters healthy behaviors such as exercise and mental stress management techniques. (Executive summary is available at

22. Administration on Aging: Chronic Disease Self-Management Education (CDSME) programs
State of Georgia: CDSME Document:
Purpose and Background
Chronic Disease Self-Management Education (CDSME) programs provide older adults and adults with disabilities with education and tools to help them better manage chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, HIV/AIDS and depression. The U.S. Administration on Aging (AoA) has been supporting the dissemination of CDSME programs through grants to states since State governments use these funds to develop an infrastructure (state and community partners, workforce, sites, enrollment system) to deliver these programs in their communities.
AoA’s most recent grant program, the Empowering Older Adults and Adults with Disabilities through Chronic Disease Self-Management Education Programs, began in September, The first year grants were financed through the 2012 Affordable Care Act Prevention and Public Health Fund (PPHF), second year continuation grants are being financed through 2013 PPHF funds, and the third year grants are financed solely through 2014 PPHF funds.
The PPHF CDSME cooperative agreements are designed to achieve two major goals:
Goal 1: Significantly increase the number of older and/or disabled adults who complete evidence-based CDSME programs to maintain or improve their health status.
Goal 2: Strengthen and expand integrated, sustainable service systems within States to provide evidence-based CDSME programs.
Funding
In 2012, AoA awarded 22 states over $8.58 million in cooperative agreements.
In 2013, AoA awarded the same 22 states $6.043 million in continuation grants.
In 2014, the 22 states are receiving $6.579 million in continuation grants.
The three-year project period ends August 31, 2015.

23. Administration for Community Living Chronic Disease Self-Management Education Funding
The PPHF CDSME cooperative agreements are designed to achieve two major goals:
Goal 1: Significantly increase the number of older and/or disabled adults who complete evidence-based CDSME programs to maintain or improve their health status.
Goal 2: Strengthen and expand integrated, sustainable service systems within States to provide evidence-based CDSME programs.
