Outcome |
Audience:
Students identified as being at risk for developing diabetes.
Behavior:
Students who are identified by SHC primary care providers as being at risk for developing diabetes will be referred to SHC's multi-disciplinary Diabetes Education Program that includes a nutritional counseling component. Students will acquire knowledge regarding this disease and the actions that they can take to reduce the risk of developing diabetes including: 1) healthy eating and proper nutrition; 2) the importance of physical activity; 3) Effective coping techniques to manage stress and emotional issues; 4) How to avoid other physical complications related to diabetes; 5) the importance of smoking cessation and cessation of use of other tobacco products.
Condition:
A multi-disciplinary Diabetes Education Program will be the condition that affects the students' learning experience. Although this program is ongoing and students will certainly require continuous monitoring, the target group of students will be followed and assessed during FY 2018-19 for purposes of this learning outcome initiative.
Demonstration:
The students' acquisition of knowledge will be demonstrated by:
1. Clinical improvement as reflected by relevant clinical indicators (e.g., blood tests, BMI measurements, blood pressure and other vital signs measurements, etc...)
2. Students will receive pre- and post- education program surveys/tests to demonstrate pre- and post-knowledge/awareness of the disease; steps for reducing risk of developing the disease and how to effectively manage the disease if it develops.
3. Students will meet with members of the multi-disciplinary team (Primary care physicians, psychiatrists, social workers, nutritionists, health educators, nurses) in 1:1 and group consultations before, during and after enrollment in the Diabetes Education Program. During these consultations, students will acquire knowledge and become more fully aware of this disease; how to reduce the risk of developing the disease; and how to effectively manage the disease it it develops.
4. Students will demonstrate learning by qualitative and quantitative assessment of changes in behavior following completion of the program. |
Benchmark |
At least 65% of students with obesity who receive nutritional counseling will achieve success in weight loss. |
