Evaluation of New Mexico’s Diabetes Prevention and Control Program

WYSAC provides evaluation services to the New Mexico Department of Health’s Diabetes Prevention and Control Program (DPCP). DPCP seeks to reduce the burden of type 2 diabetes and its complications among New Mexicans through proven prevention and self-management education services, community-based and health system partnerships, and training for health care professionals. WYSAC supports DPCP by providing technical assistance and evaluation services, including: support in identifying populations that suffer a disproportionate burden of disease or that face challenges accessing care; providing technical assistance in developing workplans that align with CDC goals and guidance; assuring continuous quality improvement; and supporting the Program in meeting CDC reporting requirements.
