About CDC 2320
In 2023, the Tennessee Department of Health (TDH) was awarded a 5-year Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 23-0020 Cooperative Agreement entitled “A Strategic Approach to Advancing Health Equity for Priority Populations with or At Risk for Diabetes.”
To support 2320 goals and objectives, TDH utilizes funding to conduct activities in the following areas:
- Increase access to, coverage for, and enrollment and retention of people with prediabetes in the National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDPP) lifestyle change program.
- Work with healthcare organizations to identify people with prediabetes and refer them to CDC-recognized organizations offering the NDPP lifestyle change program.
- Prevent diabetes complications for priority populations through early detection.
- Increase diabetic retinopathy screening in priority populations with diabetes.
- Improve early detection of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in priority populations with diabetes.
- Increase implementation of evidence-based, family-centered childhood obesity interventions.
- Increase access to, coverage for, and participation of people with diabetes in Diabetes Self-management Education and Support (DSMES) programs recognized by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) or accredited by the Association of Diabetes Care & Education Specialists (ADCES).
- Increase the number of pharmacists who provide DSMES and help people with diabetes manage their medications.
