New CDC Webinar for DPP Coordinators and Lifestyle Coaches

In the Adjusting Program Delivery During the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency Webinar, CDC highlights the key efforts to scale the National DPP in areas that are underserved, discusses the partners in that effort, and provides an overview of the evaluation framework for the project. Along with our partners, CDC presents a key case study conducted in 2021, Adjusting Program Delivery During the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency to Enroll and Retain Populations of Focus in the National DPP Lifestyle Change Program. 


Furthermore, CDC shares approaches from organizations that switched to virtual program delivery during the COVID-19 public health emergency. This shift presented unique challenges and opportunities to find creative ways to deliver the program and meet participants' needs, highlighting the importance of understanding those needs and adjusting their program to meet them.
