1 The physical and emotional health of an entire generation and the economic health and security of our nation is at stake. ~ First Lady Michelle Obama ~ At the Let s Move launch on February 10, 2010

2 Trends Project 2013: Adolescent Education on Type 2 Diabetes P R ES E N T E D BY CHRISTINA ALEYNIKOV, CAROL DOYLE, KIM HICKS, PATTY NACAMULI & CHRISTINA NERGER

3 The Problem: Adolescent Type 2 Diabetes

4 Assessment Presentation of statistical evidence. About 215,000 people younger than 20 years have diabetes (type 1 or type 2). This represents 0.26% of all people in this age group. Newly diagnosed diabetes more than tripled from 493,000 in 1980 to over 1.7 million in Poor nutritional choices. Mind set of indestructibility of this population. Cultural shift to reliance of technology & sedentary lifestyle.

5 Assessment Information from Carol s school nurse observation Research and review of statistical evidence Expression of need from pharmacology company per Lori Moog Meeting with VHS school nurses to determine target population Meeting with VHS health teachers to determine target population Article

6 Diagnosis Identification of readiness for enhanced knowledge of the adolescent population. Influence of peers due to Erikson s developmental stage of identity vs. role confusion.

7 Diagnosis Deficient knowledge of Type 2 Diabetes as evidenced in meetings with school nurses, health teachers and peer survey Readiness for enhanced knowledge related to development stage of identity vs role confusion evidenced by increased level of independence of making personal lifestyle choices

8 Planning Collaborate with VHS Junior, Tori Terribile, to cofacilitate Trends project and her community service project Meet with school nurses and gain permission from health department chair to gain access to students during health class Set presentation dates and time with health teachers Develop survey tool to identify baseline knowledge of target population Create multimedia lesson to present to junior health classes, focusing on health promotion

9 Collaborating with School Nurses

10 Planning Develop Tori s role in peer-to-peer administration of survey and co-facilitation of presentation Collaborate with health teachers to establish date of presentation Determine that program will be directed at knowledge deficits identified by pre-survey Determine dissemination of information to include interactive small-group activities Assign 3 teams of 2 to cover modifiable risk behaviors to discuss in small group activities; Each team determined their own activity to present

11 Implementation Peer to peer dissemination of survey tool Develop brochure to distribute Develop multimedia aspects of curriculum such as: Food board, eat this not that Type 2 Diabetes fact board Diabetes card game Exercise Apps Links, resources, Facebook page

12 Start: 0745!

25 Evaluation Results from post-survey were compiled and analyzed. Increase in students knowledge regarding modifiable risk factors was quantified. Positive verbal feedback was received by the health teachers Positive written feedback was received from health teachers.

26 Pre- and Post-Teaching Evaluation Pre-Teaching Post-Teaching 20 0 Being Overweight Causes T2D TRUE People are Born with T2D FALSE T2D is Not Serious FALSE Eating Too Much Sugar Causes T2D FALSE T2D is Contagious FALSE T2D is Preventable TRUE

27 Comments from Health Teachers Program objectives were clearly stated: Met Not Met Breakout sessions supported program objectives: Met Not Met Break out groups were an effective learning method: Agree Do Not Agree

28 Comments from Health Teachers (cont.) Visual aids and handouts were helpful in conveying program objectives: Agree Do Not Agree Interactive activities were age appropriate: Agree Do Not Agree Interactive activities aided in conveying the educational material: Agree Overall, was the program effective? Yes Do Not Agree No

29 Feedback from Health Teachers Thank you for coming into our classes. The program was awesome. The students were engaged the entire time, having fun and learning at the same time. I am planning on incorporating this into our lesson plans. The group was very knowledgeable, well prepared and relaxed as they gave their presentation. It was a great experience for our students and staff as well. Donna Exley

30 Feedback from Health Teachers Thank you for coming in and spending time with the Junior Health classes. The students certainly got a lot out of the information given on Type 2 Diabetes. The breakout sessions (good amount of time for each) kept their interest and gave them information that they will talk about for time to come. The visual aids makes it more realistic for them. If they don t stop drinking some of the drinks shown (with their sugar content) they will certainly think twice when reaching for it. They now have a background on what to do to help prevent diabetes and hopefully help others to make the right choices as well. Heidi
