<br /> 2015-241, Section 12E.3). The goal of the Minority Diabetes Prevention Program (MDPP) is to provide
<br /> these three components: 1) a prediabetes and diabetes prevention awareness and marketing campaign in
<br /> minority communities, 2) community screenings for prediabetes and referrals to Diabetes Prevention
<br /> Program Lifestyle classes and diabetes self-management programs and 3) offering the CDC's Lifestyle
<br /> Classes "Prevent T2" and"Prevenga el T2"to minority communities across North Carolina.
<br /> Diabetes prevention programs are designed to empower people with prediabetes to take charge of their
<br /> health and well-being. These year-long, evidenced-based programs can help people who have
<br /> prediabetes or who are at high risk for type 2 diabetes make realistic and achievable lifestyle changes
<br /> which can cut their risk of developing type 2 diabetes by up to 58%percent. (CDC, "Preventing Type 2
<br /> Diabetes")People who are enrolled in the MDPP Lifestyle classes will learn to incorporate healthier
<br /> eating and moderate physical activity, as well as problem-solving, stress reduction and coping skills into
<br /> their daily lives. The Lifestyle classes are held with a trained lifestyle coach over a 12-month period.
<br /> There are 16 classes held on a weekly basis during the first six months, after that, six or more follow-up
<br /> classes are held during the last six months.
<br /> II. Purpose:
<br /> This Agreement Addendum enables the Local Health Department (LHD) to create a Regional
<br /> Collaborative which will engage, screen and deliver the Minority Diabetes Prevention Program that
<br /> includes the CDC curricula: "Prevent T2" or"Prevenga el T2"to minority communities within its
<br /> region. The LHD and its partners may engage, screen and enroll non-Hispanic whites in the MDPP,
<br /> provided that no less than 75% of program participants are members of racial/ethnic minority groups.
<br /> The Local Health Department shall serve as the Regional Collaborative's fiduciary lead agency and shall
<br /> encourage entities such as other local health departments, community-based organizations (CBOs),
<br /> faith-based organizations (FBOs), local Community Care of North Carolina(CCNC) networks,
<br /> Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC), Rural Health Centers, farmworker programs, Indian Health
<br /> Services, and hospitals to join its Regional Collaborative in order to better engage with minority
<br /> communities through meeting the Minority Diabetes Prevention Program's screening, education and
<br /> outreach goals.
<br /> III. Scope of Work and Deliverables:
<br /> The Local Health Department, in conjunction with its Regional Collaborative, shall:
<br /> 1. Submit a plan that demonstrates partnership with existing health access infrastructure (e.g., CBO,
<br /> FBO, CCNC networks, hospitals, FQHC, Rural Health Centers, Farmworker programs, and Indian
<br /> Health Services) to the DPH Program Contact by 4:00 pm on November 15, 2016. The plan shall
<br /> identify community partners to plan and provide early detection, outreach, screening, follow-up and
<br /> referral services for MDPP eligible minority populations.
<br /> 2. Submit Memoranda of Agreement (MOAs) to partner with CBOs, FBOs, hospitals, and CCNC
<br /> networks (including Health Net providers), or other health care provider organizations that offer
<br /> primary care services (e.g., FQHC, rural health centers, Indian health centers, Health Net providers,
<br /> free clinics,private providers). These partnership agreements shall include roles delineation, scopes
<br /> of work, and allotted resources, so that each partnership will deliver a Diabetes Prevention Program
<br /> (DPP) curricula: PreventT2 or Prevenga el T2. These draft MOAs shall be submitted to the DPH
<br /> Contract Administrator by 4:00 pm on December 1, 2016.
<br /> 3. Apply for CDC recognition of its Diabetes Prevention Program by December 1, 2016. A copy of
<br /> the CDC Diabetes Prevention Recognition Program Standards and Operating Procedures can be
