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.

6. What can we do to help you address disparities related to diabetes?

• Provide a resource directory.
  
• Further define strategies for preventing/treatment/policy.
  
• Develop or update the EPO directory or develop links.
  
• Strong policy agenda to increase access to diabetes screening, treatment, and healthier foods for ethnic communities. Policy agenda that supports healthier food choices, how to shop for healthy foods, and healthier cooking/food preparation.
  
• Get the information out on what is available already out to practitioners so the community MD can get it to the public.
  
• We can continue to partner with CMA.
  
• Create marketing campaign aimed at Disease Management and Prevention - get out on the airways ASAP.
  
• Directory (with a short description of services and calendar of events and meetings) of members, partners, associates and state departments.
  
• Develop tools for physicians (and resources) to communicate with patients/communities/policy makers.
  
• Keep meeting and working on your plan - set the model at meetings - serve healthy foods and have physical activity break - replace sodas with skim milk, water and juice - replace refined carbohydrates with complex carbohydrates.
  
• Communicate to me what is going on in other places, not to reinvent the wheel.
  
• Keep sharing progress w/ DPCP so we can learn and share with others.
  
• We are on the right track.
  
• Follow through in policy, prevention, and disease management with clear goals and strategies.

• Provide more forums of this nature to help those of us that are community health advocates.
  
• Emphasize the importance of EPOs participating with State and Local government health agencies who often write grants or have funding to implement translation research or community-wide education campaigns, etc.
