Early Prevention of
Diabetes Improved Access to Health Care: The Feasibility of Addressing Healthy Border 2010 Objectives with Community Coalitions in Colonias in South Texas Final Report, February 14, 2007 Executive Summary This project addressed Healthy Border 2010 objectives in the areas of diabetes and access to health care Specifically, we examined the feasibility of engaging in early prevention of diabetes through communitybased planning to enhance physical activity and/or nutrition in colonias We also improved access to health care for colonia residents through health education and referrals These activities link to Healthy Border 2010 areas and objectives and to the Strategic Plan for the Prevention of Obesity in Texas: 20052010 Our project team included promotoras who recruited colonia residents to participate in this project Those who participated in planning the intervention were 6 to 10 women representing that number of families in one colonia, including about 40 people Attendance at planning meetings fluctuated, but no family dropped out of the project Furthermore, the participants expressed enthusiasm about the possibility of a project, and they requested that it include information and
activities involving both physical activity and nutrition For the risk assessment phase of the project, the promotoras recruited 30 adults to respond to an interview and have their body mass index measured The nutritional risk assessment dealt with how frequently they ate fruits and vegetables We found that they eat fruits and vegetables a little more than twice a day 21 times daily on average for fruits and vegetables combined, for 29 respondents In addition, their rice intake is well less than once a day 038 times daily on average, and they eat beans almost once daily 098 times daily On the basis of these reports, the respondents have quite low intake of fruits and vegetables, in contrast to the recommended 7 to 10 times per day Their physical activity levels also are low Of the 9 participants with remunerated work, only 22 engage in vigorous physical activity on the job Of all participants, when not at work, more than half engage in walking 3 days/week on average Only 13 engage in vigorous physical activity during their leisure time, on an average of 325 days/week Of the 30 respondents in the risk assessment, 90 have BMIs 25 That includes 86 of the women participants and 100 of
the men Therefore, participants with the genetic background to develop type 2 diabetes have a significant behavioral risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes The colonia residents participated in developing a plan for an intervention They decided to form a group that would engage in walking, beginning at 6 pm each night, and that would include women plus those family members who decided to accompany them The project team also will schedule nutrition classes for the group members We are pleased to report that the planning phase of this project proved feasible and we look forward to the implementation phase 2

Early Prevention of Diabetes Improved Access to Health Care: The Feasibility of Addressing Healthy Border 2010 Objectives with Community Coalitions in Colonias in South Texas

Final Report February 14, 2007 The purpose of this project was to address Healthy Border 2010 objectives in the areas of diabetes and access to health care Specifically, we examined the feasibility of engaging in early prevention of diabetes through community-based planning to enhance physical activity and/or nutrition in colonias We also improved
access to health care for colonia residents through health education and referrals This project addressed the following Healthy Border 2010 areas and objectives:

Diabetes reduce both the mortality rate of diabetes and the need for hospitalization; Access to Health Care ensure access to primary care or basic health care services Healthy Border 2010:vii

Furthermore, in relation to diminishing risk factors for diabetes, the project addressed the Strategic Plan for the Prevention of Obesity in Texas: 2005-2010 regarding the following goals TDSHS 2006:35: Goal 1: Increase awareness of obesity as a public-health issue that impacts the quality of life of families Goal 2: Mobilize families, schools, and communities to create opportunities to choose lifestyles that promote healthy weight Goal 3: Promote policies and environmental changes that support healthful eating habits and physical activity Goal 4: Monitor obesity rates and related behaviors and health conditions for planning evaluation and dissemination activities The plan for the project is shown in Appendix 1, Scope of Work We carried out the following activities:

Process of Colonia Recruitment We examined the
feasibility of partnering with social networks in colonias By working with promotoras familiar with the colonia networks, project team members opened the door to participation in this project First, two promotoras visited colonias to explain the project and see who was interested in participating A number of colonias are interested in participating in such a project The promotoras recruited 30 participants Although it had been anticipated that the 30 would be divided among four colonias, the promotoras found it more effective to recruit them from two colonias The remaining colonias will be incorporated into the project in Phase 2 of the project

Weekly group meetings were scheduled with colonia residents, and they discussed options of a physical activity or nutrition program They would like to have both They are enthusiastic about the idea of a program that will lower their risks of developing diabetes, heart
disease, and cancer They specifically requested: a As part of the program, they would like to have checking of cholesterol levels, blood sugar levels, and blood pressure Some people commented that it is expensive to go to a clinic to get these measures checked If we are to do the checking as part of our program, they would like it to be at night, with a meeting starting at 7 pm, so that their spouses can participate They would like to have the apparatus for checking blood pressure and blood sugar right there in the colonia They would like it to be handled similarly to the first-aid kit; that is, one person could have it in their house, and various people could use it when they wanted to One participant said, If I feel dizzy, I would like to be able to check my blood pressure I would like to know whether I need to go to the doctor b They would like to have aerobics One of the people who spoke up about this thinks that you need exercise machines, such as treadmills, to participate in aerobics In another colonia, we have participated in delivering a program in aerobics with a colonia resident as aerobics instructor She is enthusiastic, creative, and pretty knowledgeable In that
colonia, one resident also has a videotape with dance music and a group of men and women doing aerobics, instructing the audience in doing various steps The women colonia residents have used both resources to increase their physical activity, although they say that having an instructor makes them exercise harder c Some are interested in losing weight and one requested a diet book She probably is not aware of the approach of eating better balanced meals, rather than dieting per se We have several recipes for healthful plates, and we can share these with the group Also, we can request a visit from a nutritionist to discuss ideas about how to lose weight and be healthy through improved nutrition d An additional concern is the large number of colds that people are getting They would like something to prevent colds gripa They mentioned vaccinations, like a flu vaccination, and vitamins Process of Risk Assessment Second, the promotoras and project team carried out a needs assessment regarding behavioral risk factors for diabetes It is known that the prevalence of diabetes is high in colonia populations; however, the risk factors that lead to this high prevalence have not been specified

Instruments and Methods of Risk Assessment The project team reviewed several approaches to identifying risk factors Instruments reviewed were: 1 Monterey County Behavioral Risk Factor Survey IMPACTO II - 2000 in English and Spanish; validated It was developed on the basis of the Behavioral Risk Factor instrument developed by the Centers for Disease Control

2 Comportamientos de Riesgo para Enfermedades Crónicas, 18 a 65 años Marzo del 2005 Secretaria de Salud, Subsecretaria de Prevención y Promoción de la Salud, Dirección General de Epidemiología y Comisión de Salud Fronteriza México-Estados Unidos Behavioral Risk Factors for Chronic Diseases, 18 to 65 years of age March 2005 Secretary of Health, Subsecretary of Prevention and Health Promotion, General Director of Epidemiology and US-Mexico Border Health Commission Reasons for using this instrument are as follows It is available in Spanish Second, because it is
set up as a telephone questionnaire, it is more useful for a face-to-face interview than a written questionnaire would be Because some colonia residents have low literacy levels, and many are not used to dealing with questionnaires, a face-to-face instrument is preferable Third, this instrument is being used widely in the border region, providing a basis for comparison with other border populations Finally, although the questionnaire is relatively long, colonia residents find it easy to answer and straightforward The instrument elicits data on the frequency of consuming various foods We have more confidence in recall data on food frequency than on the amount of food that someone ate Furthermore, the analysis of amounts of food eaten is much more laborious and therefore, much more costly, than the analysis of food frequency In this project, therefore, we are not attempting to work on amounts of food consumed but instead focus on the variety of food eaten on a typical day or in a typical week We found an aspect of the food frequency questions problematic and developed a way to solve the problem Normally, a food frequency questionnaire asks how often during a typical week a person
eats a specific food, or how often during the past week someone ate it In the case of the Secretary of Health questionnaire, however, the questions asked for frequency per day, week, month, or year Our approach to this issue is to code items eaten less often than once a week as zero, as though they are not eaten Our decision rests on the fact that we seek information about typical, routine patterns of eating, not an exact inventory of all foods eaten during a year We refined some of the items for the use in Spanish of limited-income people in South Texas The project team carried out this work and narrowed the instrument to focus on risk factors for diabetes and patterns of physical activity and nutrition The results document needs for intervention, assist in orienting the specific approach of the intervention, and provide pre-intervention baseline data 7

del 2002 Formato Telefónico Largo–Últimos 7 Dias International Questionnaire on Physical Activity November, 2002 Long Telephone Interview Format–the Last 7 Days Source: Los Cuestionarios Internacionales de Actividad Física IPAQ, por sus siglas en inglés; Booth, ML 2000 Assessment of Physical Activity: An International Perspective Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 71 2: s114-20; wwwipaqkise The module on physical activity comes from this questionnaire The reasons for choosing this instrument were that it was available in Spanish, in a format designed for face-to-face interviews, and it has been successful in data collection with some populations in Mexico, although it has not been pretested with border populations Dr Nelda Mier, who has expertise in physical activity surveys, recommended it after a thorough review of other instruments available in Spanish or English The IPAC interviews began their development in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1998 and have been tested in 14 sites in 12 countries, with extensive attention to their reliability and validity They are designed for international comparison, which makes them useful for our more international region of Texas We
pretested items from both the long and short IPAC interview formats Pretesting led to changes in the instrument, based on project participants reactions and interviewers observations The changes and observations were as follows: Some of the questions were too long and needed to be broken up into two sentences, one giving instructions and the other posing the question Participants commented that the question, Time spent commuting or traveling by car, bus, etc, in a seated position should have a response rounded to hours, not expressed in minutes Several questions ask to note time in hours and minutes Some participants did not think it was necessary to denote minutes, but others felt it was fine It was left in the survey for those that might answer in minutes Participants suggested changing specific phrases or words to make the questions easier to understand The phrase trabajo pago o no pago was changed to trabajo pagado o no pagado, the word desplazo was changed to traslado, the phrase no caminatas was changed to no camine Clarification of actividad vigorosa and actividad moderada was necessary throughout the survey The question and examples of these activities were repeated as
necessary Question 8 Part 2 includes the word tranvía when discussing motor vehicles The group did not reach a consensus about what this word meant It was interpreted in various ways and the participants suggested omitting this word The participants understood the question with the remaining examples of motor vehicles Question 26 required clarification for some people about the time spent sitting during the day Interviewers clarify that question by specifying that it only includes time spent awake General comments: o The words such as usualmente and nuevamente were used quite often throughout the survey in asking the questions or giving instructions The suggestion was made to omit these words in several places because it made the questions too long to the listener when 8

the investigator read the question Sometimes it was so long that they asked the interviewer to repeat the question o Several questions were also
considered long because the instruction was read together with the questions The suggestion was made to list instructions prior to the question to make the question istelf clearer to the individual answering ie question 4, 14, 16, 18, 22, and 24 o A few people mentioned that they walked or rode a bike sometimes, but had not done so in the past 7 days that we asked about because of the weather They thought we should ask the question in general so they would be able to answer For the purpose of this project, we have adopted the long questionnaire It was noted that the shorter version had vaguer questions, which made them more difficult to answer This instrument was designed to pilot test the intervention When and if the instrument is applied to a larger population, it would be practical to use it with a sample of that population to gather baseline and post-intervention data This is an important consideration in view of the length of the instrument In addition, it is important to note that the information elicited with the instrument comes from self report, resulting in potentially biased data

Body Mass Index Assessment In contrast to the above instrument that we developed, which
elicits data from project participants, we also collected data on height and weight to calculate body mass index BMI This effort was planned to allow us to examine the feasibility of assessing changes in BMI The advantage of these measurements is that they do not depend on self-report In addition, because the project aims to enhance patterns of physical activity and/or food intake, a hoped-for outcome is to improve BMIs in those who are overweight

Risk Assessment Results Description of the Participants Most participants are middle-aged females with at least a primary school education Specifically, the average age of the participants is 43 years; almost three quarters are women All participants are Hispanic Nearly all have completed primary school, and more than one quarter have completed high school Only 10 have less than a primary school education All participants responded to the questionnaire in Spanish, and among immigrants, 83 speak only Spanish, while 8 speak some English, and another 8 speak both Spanish and English equally If this information is used as a proxy variable for acculturation, we would conclude that their acculturation to the United States is relatively weak

Behavioral Risk Factors The behavioral risk factors that we examined were fruit and vegetable intake and patterns of physical activity The ideal intake of fruit and vegetables would be 7 to 9 servings per day, total The ideal pattern of physical activity would be the equivalent of walking for at least half an hour daily at a vigorous pace, so fast that it is not possible to talk while walking Our survey provides a general picture of eating and physical activity behaviors We chose to elicit food frequency data because self-report makes it very difficult to quantify amounts of various foods that are eaten, and the analysis of dietary composition is much more laborious and therefore, much more costly than the analysis of food frequency data Table 2 item 3 provides a summary of information about behavioral risk factors for diabetes The participants in this project eat fruits and vegetables insufficiently According to
the reported food frequency data, they eat fruits and vegetables, with the total for the two categories of food combined, a little more than twice a day 21 times daily on average In addition, their rice intake is well less than once a day 038 times daily on average, and they eat beans almost once daily 098 times daily On the basis of these reports, the respondents have quite low intake of fruits and vegetables They engage in insufficient efforts at physical activity Note that of the 9 participants with remunerated work, only 22 engage in vigorous physical activity on the job Of all the participants, when not at work, more than half engage in walking 3 days/week on average Only 13 engage in vigorous physical activity during their leisure time, on an average of 325 days/week The nutrition and physical activity data therefore indicate that the behavioral risk factors for diabetes and other chronic diseases are substantial in this population

Body Mass Index The entire group of participants in this project includes 30 people, of whom 90 have BMIs 25 That includes 86 of the women participants and 100 of the men Table 1, item 4 This measure alone indicates that 90 of colonia residents
have significant risks of health problems that could be lowered through enhanced patterns of physical activity and nutrition For those with the genetic background to develop type 2 diabetes, the high BMI is a significant factor increasing their risk of developing the disease The 90 with a high BMI all have significantly increased the risk of circulatory system diseases and cancer Therefore, on the basis of BMI alone, a participatory intervention program to improve patterns of physical activity and nutrition is warranted

Summary on Risk Factors According to the survey and measurements of BMI, the participants have substantial risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes, given a genetic propensity for the disease, and for other chronic disease such as circulatory system disorders and cancer Intake of fruit and vegetables is quite low, as are physical activity levels Although colonia life in many ways discourages people from increasing physical activity because of the lack of sidewalks, parks, and household space for exercising, the participants are eager to take part in a program to increase their physical activity Similarly, with limited budgets, cooking equipment, and cooking fuel, participants may find it difficult to improve their
eating habits Nonetheless, the residents are eager to improve their health and prevent chronic disease

Increasing Access to Medical Care The project connected colonia residents with immediate needs for medical care to appropriate community and private healthcare providers We also provided general information about health resources in the county to colonia residents through information given directly by the promotoras and with fliers that they distributed During the course of delivering the monthly reports, the program team received a request from the Office of Border Health to include the GIS Geographic Information Systems address for the colonias where information was provided for access to medical care At that point, we began to keep records of the referrals that linked colonia names to referral points and reasons for the referrals, as shown in the table below The total number of people directly contacted and provided with information about access to medical care, including screening tests, was 239 Table 2 Through providing information to colonia residents, this project provided health education to improve health literacy In addition to providing benefits to colonia residents
and contributing to the Healthy Border 2010 goals, this aspect of the project was required for ethical reasons It would be unethical to carry out a project with a population who has poor access to medical care if we did not make every effort to refer those in need to healthcare providers 12

Feasibility of Engaging in Planning Early Prevention of Diabetes with Community Partnerships This project examined the feasibility of engaging in planning early prevention of diabetes with community partnerships through working with the social network members to design physical activity programs and/or nutrition programs focused on families and their social networks The interventions were to target risk factors for diabetes and shall take place in the colonia neighborhoods Limiting factors in the planning process were several, at different levels 1 We met with people in colonias that lacked a community center; therefore, we needed to meet with them at their homes The process of organizing such a meeting was developed by the promotoras, and involved planning a time for the meeting
within the following few days, developing a list of those who accept the invitation to attend, and calling the morning of the meeting to confirm that the meeting would occur This process is laborious, but it seems to be the best way to ensure that a meeting takes place 2 Regarding ideas about physical activity, people are interested in aerobics and other kinds of activity that they have seen on TV or learned about otherwise The limitations in the colonias, however, largely revolve around space and transportation In the colonias, there are often empty 14

lots that could be used to make space for physical activity; however, the lots would have to be cleaned, ie, mowed, cleared of any garbage and junk, and probably, leveled In the case of areas with access to a community center, it would be easier to locate space for physical activity, and if the center were air conditioned, it would be that much more attractive People
lack the transportation to go to the schools to take advantage of playgrounds; in addition, women seem somewhat reluctant to leave home They are worried about thieves Observations of groups in colonias reveal that aerobics, when a carport is available, or walking groups are the main two options for women to get exercise Aerobics is regarded as a womens activity, and men have jokingly expressed reluctance to engage in it Walking is not acceptable in areas where it is not safe, or where the Border Patrol tends to cruise to pick up people to find out whether they have documents Consultation over what physical activity to do is thus somewhat limited because of these realities 3 Given a choice of physical activity or nutrition classes, people say they want both This is consistent across colonias and age groups 4 Colonia residents seek other health information They gladly provide blood samples for measuring blood glucose They are also interested in their cholesterol levels, and many have heard of HDLs and LDLs They also want to know their blood pressure It is commendable that they seek this information, and access to it also motivates colonia residents to participate in health projects 5
See also the principles of working with colonia residents below

Formative Assessment of the Feasibility of the Project Formative evaluation of the project: a Participation of community partners generally has been impressive Even during the coldest days of the winter, community partners have met regularly once a week to discuss the project b Community partners are responsive to the project plan to collect before and after data with questionnaires and measurements of height and weight c The community partners also were fully cooperative in planning a program involving physical activity and nutrition Their participation tended to be brief and to the point, without long-winded discussion d Similarly, the community partners wanted to begin implementing the plan immediately On the basis of intensive interaction during meetings in several colonias of different sizes, a number of principles were developed The list of principles was begun in October and was updated monthly 15

These are principles for researchers and public health staff who are working with colonia communities in participatory projects, meaning that community members are to be involved in designing and implementing the project at each step Table 3 Participatory project principles involving colonia residents 1 Meetings with colonia residents, mechanics: a Decide on a principal meeting time and stick to it Additional meetings can be added, but the major decisions should be made at the main meeting time Colonia residents lead busy lives, they work on different shifts, and they may not have the flexibility of middle class people to change their schedules b If men are to participate in the project, the main meeting time should be at night to take advantage of the availability of those who work days For such meetings, child care needs to be arranged if there is to be any sort of presentation where it is important for the parents to hear clearly what is being said c Child care is best provided adjacent to the meeting, so that parents will know immediately if there is any problem with their children d Meetings with women only are best
held in the mornings at 11 am during the school year Children return from school around 3 pm and their mothers want to have time to get ready beforehand; thus the early afternoon generally is not a good time for a meeting At such meetings with women, their preschool children are likely to be present Meetings scheduled for 2 pm generally are canceled by the colonia residents, even after they agree to them in the first place The reason is the press of events during the day Other meeting times: 10 am is sometimes too early because some women are still bathing and preparing their young children for the day; 12:30 pm seems to be possible for women in some colonias When school is not in session, women have less flexibility and less time for meetings because of their responsibilities in child care e Family activities on Saturday afternoons have been suggested by a number of colonia residents Their reasons are that most men are off work by then, children are not in school, and most women also could free time at that point f It is advisable to circulate a flier with the times for the meetings listed, perhaps in calendar format as with school children, since colonia residents are used to
that form of communication g When a project gathers data, it is best to do so when a complete week is available, and to plan to do so early in the week Then any additional people who miss the meeting where data are collected can be contacted and ideally, data can be collected from them as well on a later day in the same week

2 Participation levels a Families will come and go from any project over the course of several weeks It is important to allow people to join a project if they want to Such a principle engenders good rapport and allows more colonia residents to gain some benefit from a project, even if they do not participate throughout the project period Therefore, each project session should be self-contained to some degree That is, it should be possible for people to participate in a session and get something out of it even if they have not attended earlier sessions b Typically, husbands attend meetings
less often than wives They need encouragement to attend meetings, and it is important that an activity such as aerobics not become the focus of an intervention if men are to be included Aerobics is considered a womens activity by most male colonia residents c It is possible in a 12 week intervention to achieve an attendance level of 70 at meetings on the part of a few families An attendance level of 50 is a more achievable goal

3 Community support for an intervention a Colonia residents are motivated to attend and participate by the availability of blood sugar and cholesterol readings They want to know their test results, what is the desirable level, and what their results signify Do their results warrant a trip to the doctor, or are they within normal, healthy limits? b Colonia residents find a 10- to 12-week intervention doable On the basis of the experience of one large colonia, it would be possible to continue an intervention for a longer period It is possible that a trailing off of the intervention would be successful in encouraging participants to sustain new patterns of physical activity and nutrition

4 Oral and written materials a Oral materials are welcome at meetings,
and colonia residents find that meetings are times to chat among themselves, identify common problems, and sometimes, find common solutions b Meetings provide useful occasions for people to voice their ideas about health and to find out whether nutritionists or physical activity specialists concur with those ideas, or have other ways to think about health issues Some ideas that have come up at community meetings of colonia residents are: that it is good to skip meals in order to lose weight, that eating a lot of salt will help you to lose weight, that exercise in the morning is more healthful than in the afternoon, and that some people cannot do some kinds of exercise perhaps there is an absence of the idea of gaining strength through increasing exercise levels; it is not yet clear c Written materials are also useful for residents Recipes are valued in the case of nutrition interventions 17

d Nutritional and physical
activity information in simple language and without a great deal of technical detail is useful It is best to avoid trying to teach the same way as in the classroom in the university, but key concepts can be taught effectively e Colonia residents also want to know the reasons for various suggestions They wish to reason about their health habits, not just follow orders from experts Generally, many lessons were learned in the formative evaluation of this project Women are available for participation if they are approached by someone in whom they have confidence, whom they have known for some period of time, and who is working with programs that have brought them immediate, tangible benefits In this regard, the First-Aid Kit Project provided an excellent basis for recruiting participants in this program

Plan for a Program in Physical Activity and Nutrition to be Initiated in Phase 2 The principal physical activity in this program will be walking Women in the group will gather beginning at 6 pm and family members may join them A small group will gather and pick up others as they pass their houses At the end of the walk, people will drop off as they reach their houses Additional
physical activities will be made available by the project team to see what else appeals to colonia residents The nutrition classes will be scheduled with Texas AM Extension instructors, either those of Hidalgo County or those from the District 12 Extension Office in Weslaco Additional resources may be available from the Universidad Tecnológico de Monterrey, which has a nutrition program that has occasionally sent nutrition students who were completing their degrees to give lessons in the lower Rio Grande Valley and from nursing and dietetics programs at South Texas College and the University of Texas-Pan American

Relationship to Healthy Border 2010 Areas and Objectives This project links to the Healthy Border 2010 areas and objectives in the following ways: Diabetes: The longterm project goal is to reduce both the mortality rate of diabetes and the need for hospitalization, because the project developed steps to design an intervention for early reduction of risk factors for diabetes The project is oriented mainly toward the general population, to increase physical activity and/or improve nutrition to bring about improved health and reduced body mass index In this way, the project
addresses and plans to reduce, in the general colonia population, the major behavioral risk factors leading to diabetes Access to Health Care: The project has provided referrals for medical care and distribution of information on clinics orally and through fliers help to meet the goal of improving access to health care 18

Relationship to the Strategic Plan for the Prevention of Obesity in Texas: 2005-2010 In relation to the Strategic Plan for the Prevention of Obesity in Texas: 2005-2010, the project addresses the goals as follows: Goal 1: Increase awareness of obesity as a public-health issue that impacts the quality of life of families The project addresses this goal through examining the feasibility of working with a community coalition to plan an intervention to reduce diabetes risk factors That is, the project staff has informed the colonia residents of the links of physical activity and nutrition to risk of
diabetes This was a necessary step before planning an intervention Goal 2: Mobilize families, schools, and communities to create opportunities to choose lifestyles that promote healthy weight

The project addresses this goal by working with families and communities, ie, with the social networks in the colonias, to examine the feasibility of designing an intervention that will encompass lifestyles that promote healthy weight For example, the Latino 5-A-Day recipe book may be feasible to use with the communities It may be feasible to show that buying foods such as soda, cookies, and candy are more expensive than fresh fruits and vegetables available at flea markets and roadside stands Goal 3: Promote policies and environmental changes that support healthful eating habits and physical activity The project addresses this goal through examining the feasibility of working with community members to seek ways to bring about positive community-level changes in physical activity, eating patterns, and perceptions of healthy weight for height in children and adults Goal 4: Monitor obesity rates and related behaviors and health conditions for planning evaluation and dissemination activities
The project addresses this goal through examining the feasibility of using the instruments noted above to assess behavioral risk factors for obesity and to assess prevalence of excess BMI The results will be used as a baseline needs assessment that can be revisited periodically during the implementation of the intervention, in Phase 2 of this project

Conclusions Generally, the program is moving along well The colonia residents are enthusiastic about participating and they have volunteered ideas quite freely regarding their own assessment of their needs They are aware of chronic health issues and seem to have a good general orientation about them, but they need 19

better information They want access to screening for blood sugar levels, cholesterol, other blood lipids, and blood pressure They desire both physical activity and nutrition programs to decrease their risk of chronic disease On the other hand, they face
constraints in regard to enhancing their nutrition and physical activity levels This project is designed to take those constraints into account in designing a culturally and economically appropriate intervention

also inform colonia residents in general of the availability of healthcare This aspect of the project will involve health education to improve health literacy In addition to providing benefits to colonia residents and contributing to the Healthy Border 2010 goals, this aspect of the project is required because of ethical reasons It would be unethical to carry out a project with a population who have poor access to medical care if we did not make every effort to refer those in need to healthcare providers Schedule Months 1-4: refer those with immediate medical needs to the clinics and inform other colonia residents of the availability of
clinic services orally and with fliers Expected number of referrals: 120 Expected number of fliers to be distributed: 500 5 Examine the feasibility of engaging in planning early prevention of diabetes with community partnerships through working with the social network members to design physical activity programs and/or nutrition programs focused on families and their social networks The interventions shall target risk factors for diabetes and shall take place in the colonia neighborhoods Schedule Month 1: invite social networks to participate in the project Months 2-4: planning with community partnerships Expected number of participants, 30 6 Evaluation shall be a formative assessment of the feasibility of the project The elements of the project to be evaluated will be: a Participation of community partners: number of participants and duration in project b Response to needs assessments: number of respondents and number willing to have measurements taken of height and weight c Participation of community partners in planning a program involving physical activity and/or nutrition: number of participants, number who discontinued their participation, and whether the plan is completed
