Abstract
AbstractThis chapter discusses Diabetes Prevention and Control Programs (DPCPs) in the United States. A major focus of the DPCPs is the development of strategic partners for achieving program goals. The progression from healthy to at-risk status, to disease, and ultimately death is not always understood or agreed on from a population perspective, and thus program planners for national efforts like the National Diabetes Prevention and Control Program need decision support tools to help them not only advise but also explain their preferred set of interventions to constituent groups, or potential partners. The systems modeling approach, a computer-based model of outcomes from various program interventions, improves understanding of the “futures” that are likely to be generated by examining the impact of a range of alternative assumptions and interventions on the system. As emerging science revealed the cost-effectiveness of preventing diabetes, the National Diabetes Program embarked on new population-focused interventions.
