DE0035: Diabetes Online CDE: Traditional Foods are a Way to Talk About Health: The CDC Traditional Foods Project
Historical, economic, social, and environmental determinants of health are critical to understanding type 2 diabetes in American Indian and Alaska Native communities. The purpose of the Traditional Foods Project [TFP] was to implement and evaluate a community-defined set of strategies to address type 2 diabetes by focusing on traditional foods, physical activity, and social support. This webinar will describe the process, outcomes and lessons learned from the TFP to increase and sustain community access to traditional foods and related activities to promote health and help prevent type 2 diabetes.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
1. Examine the importance of tribally based participatory action in developing health promotion programs that honor traditional ways of knowing.
2. Incorporate strategies for increasing food security with sustained community access to traditional foods.
3. Identify one change you can make to encourage use of traditional foods among patients and tribal members in your clinical or community practice.
