| Measurable Outcome Anticipated: |
| � Increase awareness and detection of at risk populations by directly impacting Diabetes, HTN, CVD, Obesity, HIV-AIDS and Asthma, by reducing risk behaviors related to tobacco, physical activity, nutrition and sexual relations. These objectives will be achieved by reducing Health Disparities in accordance with Healthy People 2010 Objectives. During the past program year CHAP provided direct screening, counseling and educational services to 165 diabetes management, screening, counseling, or prevention education sessions for 9,537 participants. Of them, 7 multi- week sessions were on diabetes management, for 84 uninsured diabetics.
� Cholesterol & Blood Pressure Screenings. Education & Counseling was provided to 7, 257 poor, minority underserved community participants and their families.
� Partnerships with the American Heart Association & Moffitt Cancer & Research Center resulted in free stroke and breast cancer screenings for 675 poor, uninsured, minority participants and their families.
Additionally, to achieve the objectives, evidence-based strategies were employed by CHAP and its diverse community partners. The initial intervention area focused on neighborhoods in the cities of Tampa, Temple Terrace and Plant City. The metropolitan population (Tampa, Temple Terrace) is largely white (79 per cent) and is 16-percent African American and 4-percent Hispanic. This area has a high incidence of diabetes-related, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease including asthma deaths, a high poverty level, and less educated persons with disproportionate health disparities in the burdens of Diabetes, Asthma, Obesity, HTN, CVD and HIV-AIDS.
Health Promotions and marketing was employed through a bi -weekly radio program focusing on diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular and obesity awareness, prevention, education and self management advocacy focusing on evidence-based, culturally inclusive interventions for multiple areas of conditions and risks. These strategies are noted with specific, measurable short-and long-term outcomes. The following will be referenced to establish baselines and evaluation of the interventions: County Level BRFSS, BMI data, Florida Youth Tobacco Survey, Hillsborough county Healthcare Program Data, physical activity/nutrition surveys, hospital discharge data. A revised BRFSS will be implemented as well as an oversampling of the YRBSS in the intervention area to enhance monitoring of short- and long-term outcomes.
