Evaluation (continued...)
We would appreciate your taking a few moments to give
us feedback about the convening and ways to strengthen
our efforts as we move forward.
4. On a scale of 1 to 5, how
would you rate the value of the breakout session?
Prevention
- Funding was a concern - health communication is
not a high priority as opposed to 'education' - must
link.
- Hearing what groups are doing.
- Interest of MD's to learn about public health/education.
Sharing of ideas - need to inform other MD's and public.
- About the need to bring people from different backgrounds
together.
- About state resources already in place for diabetes
prevention and management.
- We all need more money in order to improve/develop
diabetes service for our ethnic communities.
- The need to focus on one or two achievable goals
- many great ideas emerged.
- I didn't learn a specific lesson, however, I was
surprised that most people agreed that screening precipitated
to top as the main priority item. I was surprised
that community empowerment and self-management, diet
and physical activity were not discussed in the prevention
group. Some of our issues were applicable to the disease
management group
Disease Management
- Good ideas of Disease Management.
- We need to prioritize our goals, objectives, and
projects.
- Diversity of group members made the discussion whole.
Policy
- Who, What, Where, How - need to get addressed -
linking EPO to specific tasks.
- EPs don't know the value and power of this collective
voice and assets.
- It was a diverse group with access to a lot of partners.
- There is not one solution.
- That some actions that have broad based impact are
about to take place.
- The need to establish a system to create policy.
- Variety of interested attendees - community, professionals
& state, etc.
5. What is one thing you feel
you can do when you return home to address the disparities
related to diabetes as a result of attending the convening?
- Encourage more participation through local medical
association and public health organization.
- Have the society consider writing a mini-grant.
- Share more information with local ethnic physicians.
- Partner with existing efforts and lend credentials
to projects already in place
- Focus on our community.
- Look at my community from the standpoint of diabetes
education and prevention.
- Apply programs resources to improving healthcare.
- Engage community more - improve linkages with our
community.
- Send information about culturally sensitive resources
to all attendees.
- Network with other MD's regarding disease management
and encourage them to become involved in organizations
like the CMA.
- Follow up with Office of Multicultural Health at DHS.
- Continue research efforts in Health Communication
about diabetes and maintain regular communication with
NEPO.
- Link to the website - refer others to the CMAF resources
- join the Network Steering Committee expert panel.
- Look into developing a group of representatives from
the ethnic physicians community for SD - join the CMA
statewide effort.
- I have number for the area health Promotion Specialist
for the CDHS Diabetes Prevention program.
- Network and share resources with other participants
and take those resources to assist the community.
- Share this with our group at work that has this same
focus.
- Get the message out that the EPOs are an indispensable
part of the local public health infrastructure that
has to be considered if disparities will reduce. Further,
share that plan with nonethnic physicians.
