  • Implement evidence-informed and culturally-adapted community-clinical linkages (CCL) to support type 2 diabetes prevention (e.g., increase the number of adult community members screened and tested for prediabetes and referred to a CDC-recognized type 2 diabetes prevention program, increase the number of CDC-recognized diabetes prevention classes offered, increase the number of CDC-recognized type 2 diabetes prevention classes offering culturally-relevant materials and approaches to increase program participation and retention).
  • Implement evidence-informed and culturally-adapted CCL to support heart disease and stroke prevention (e.g. increase the number of trained CHRs who are equipped to deliver evidence-informed, locally available programs to support prevention and control of high blood pressure/high blood cholesterol, increase the number of patients with or at risk of high blood pressure/high blood cholesterol receiving team-based care, in crease the number of culturally-relevant material and approaches to link tribal resources & clinical services to support prevention and detection of high blood pressure/high blood cholesterol).
