Prevention Priorities: Identifying and Reaching Priority Populations

Inequities in incidence and prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes have highlighted a need to focus prevention efforts on “priority populations”. This training will address the disproportionate effects of diabetes and prediabetes on certain populations of people. Learners will discuss defining and identifying priority populations in their communities and explore strategies to engage with these.

"Not One in the Same: Understanding Health-Related Social Needs and Social Determinants of Health"

Wednesday, January 15, 2025 from 12-1:30 PM

In the updated CDC DPRP standards, organizations are asked to conduct a social needs assessment and indicate if there is action being taken to address identified needs. In this webinar, we will explain and explore the meaning of Health-Related Social Needs (HRSN) and how they relate/differ to Social Determinants of Health (SDOH). Approaches to collecting social needs information will be discussed and Lifestyle Coach panelists will share practices used in different organizations to support participants with identified social needs.

Up to 18 sites will be selected to participate in an evaluability assessment in the Spring of 2025 and will receive a financial token of appreciation of $5,000. Up to eight of those selected sites will then be invited to participate in a full evaluation.
