BACKGROUND
Background
Guilford County Public Health, in partnership with the research team from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC), agree to participate in the Med-South Lifestyle Study. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) funded the UNC Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention (HPDP) to identify the most effective and efficient way to support the broad-scale implementation of the Med-South Lifestyle Program across multiple public health and clinical practice settings. In Phase 2, we will test implementation strategies and measure outcomes of the Med-South Lifestyle Program in 10 health departments and 10 Federally Qualified Health Centers or Rural Health Centers.
Public Health will be receiving funding in the amount of up to $14,000 from the UNC Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention to support the implementation strategies and measure outcomes of the Med-South Lifestyle Program by serving on implementation team, recruitment of participants and providing a space for counseling. The goal is to recruit 15-20 participants in order to improve their nutrition and physical activities through guided training & counseling in the Med-South Lifestyle Program.
This program will offer other opportunities for healthy eating lifestyles and integrate with our existing diabetes prevention program. The funding period for this program is from May 1, 2022 through September 29, 2023.
