Black Womens Health: October 18, 2012

October 18, 2012, Washington, D.C. – The Black Women’s Health  Imperative (Imperative) is pleased to announce that we have received an award from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to implement an evidence-based, lifestyle-change program to prevent type 2 diabetes among Black women in five states: California, Indiana,  Michigan, Missouri and Virginia.

This 2012 Prevention and Public Health Fund cooperative agreement is part of a national effort to reduce the number of new cases of type 2 diabetes through the National Diabetes Prevention Program. The program is based on a research study led by the National Institutes of Health and supported by CDC, which showed that people with pre-diabetes could reduce their risk of type 2 diabetes by making modest lifestyle changes. Read more
