Project: Developing, Marketing, and Evaluation of Eagle Books and Youth Books for American Indians and Alaska Natives
Sponsored by: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Native Diabetes Wellness Program
Purpose: We have asked you to take part in an interview to learn more about diabetes prevention work in your community. We would like to find out what you may know about the Eagle Books--a group of children’s books about exercise, healthy eating, and how to prevent diabetes. We would also like to hear what you think about these materials and how they have or can help local efforts to prevent diabetes. We want to talk to you because you work in diabetes education in tribal communities. The Eagle Books have been developed for American Indian children.
Taking part in this interview does not mean that you are not healthy or that you have diabetes. We want to find out what local health professionals think about the Eagle Books and how they can help local diabetes prevention work.
Important things to know:
The interview will last about 60 minutes.
Your participation is voluntary. You do not have to answer any questions you do not want to.
We will not ask you to talk about your personal health. We will ask what you think about the Eagle Books and what can be done to prevent diabetes in your community.
Someone from Westat (the company helping CDC with this project) will take notes. We will not write your name in the notes. Later, other people working on this project may see the notes because they cannot be here in person. Only people working on this project will be allowed to see the notes.
Everything you say will be kept private, as allowed by law.
You should be hurt in any kind of way because you took part in the interview. There are no direct benefits to you for taking part in the interview. What you tell us will help us see if the Eagle Books and DETS are meeting the needs of American Indian children and how they can help in local diabetes prevention efforts.
Want to know more? Please call [INSERT NAME OF LOCAL CONTACT]. If you have any questions about the project or CDC, you can call Dr. Lemyra DeBruyn (the CDC person in charge of this project) at 1-505-232-9906.
