  5. Statement of the Problem(As We Began) Diabetes affectsONE IN FOUR African-American women over 55-years-old. Diabetes affects TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT of African-Americans between ages 65 and 74. SOURCE: ADA, 2005

  6. Statement of the Problem (National) African-Americans are more likely than other ethnic and cultural group to be diagnosed with diabetes. SOURCE: ADA, 2005

  7. Statement of the Problem (National) African-Americans are 2.4 TIMES more likely than non-Hispanic white adults to have been diagnosed with diabetes by a physician. African-Americans are 2.2 TIMES more likely than non-Hispanic white adults to die from diabetes. Non-Hispanic White Males African-Americans Non-Hispanic White Males African-Americans Source: NLM, 2006

  8. Statement of Problem (State) • In Maryland, 9.5 percent African-American residents have diabetes, compared to 6 percent of Whites. • Many of those African-Americans are unable to receive the necessary health care. • Approximately one in every 400 to 500 children and adolescents has Type I diabetes. • Type II diabetes is becoming more common in among African-American children and adolescents. Sources: MD BRFSS, 2002; USRDS Data, 2001

  9. Statement of Problem (Local) • Coppin State University (CSU) and Coppin Academy High School students, families, peers, and neighbors mirror the Baltimore community which is disproportionately affected by chronic diseases such as diabetes. • African-Americans in Baltimore City are 15 percent more likely to die from heart disease than white City residents. In Baltimore County, African-Americans are twice as likely to die from a diabetes-related illness than whites (BCHD, 2008). • The prevalence of diabetes in Baltimore City is being addressed as a city health crisis as indicated in City Council Resolution number 03.1177 (2003).

  10. Student Assessment Component • Assessment of the computer, website, Internet, library usage, and NLM awareness and knowledge levels among consenting CSU HEED students. • Baseline – April 2008 • Post-Intervention – August/September 2008 • Follow-up – December 2008

  11. Research Procedures Methodology Sampling The population of interest for this study consists of a convenient sample of 194 undergraduate and 4 graduate health education students from Coppin State University

  12. Research Procedures continued Measures The survey instrument was designed to gather information in six domains: Demographic Information Computer Skills and Usage Internet and Web experience Use of the CSU Parlett Moore or other Libraries Use of NLM Databases Diabetes and other Health Issues

  13. Research Procedures continued Measures continued The survey included 86 multiple choice question and 10 open-ended question testing students’ knowledge of diabetes, obesity and the importance of physical activity. Design Trained Assessors administered the survey to a convenient sample of 15 health education classes selected to participate; course levels include 100, 200, 300 and 400 level courses.

  14. Research Procedures continued Procedures The survey was administered from April 8, 2008 to April 23, 2008. Follow ups will be done in September 2008 and December 2008. SPSS 13.0 and Microsoft Excel were used to analyze data collected. SPSS 13.0 was used to construct frequency distribution tables and the single variable analysis approach was used to illustrate overall findings. Descriptive Statistics were used to present quantitative data collected from the questionnaire. Data was collected from ten open-ended questions into Microsoft Excel and used to measure the student’s basic knowledge of diabetes and obesity and the importance of physical activity.

  15. Sample Demographics

  16. Sample Findings: Computer Skills & Internet/Web Experience (N=198) • Fifty-one (51%) percent (101 students) identified themselves as having good computer skills, while 31% (62 students) viewed themselves as having excellent computers skills. • Twenty-five (25%) percent (50 students) spent 15-30 hours per week on the Internet, while the majority, 42% (84 students) spent 6-15 hours per week on the Internet. • Thirty-nine (39%) percent (78 students) used the Internet daily for studying, while 48% (94 students) used the web weekly for studying.

  17. Sample Findings: Use of the CSU Parlett Moore or Other Libraries (N=198) • Thirty-nine (39%) percent (78 students) used the Library for studying once a week each academic semester. • Seventeen (17%) percent (34 students) referenced online resources at least once a month while 44% (88 students) never referenced online resources. • Eleven (11%) percent (22 students) used periodicals twice a semester while the majority 58% (115 students) never use periodicals. • Seventeen (17%) percent (34 students) used E-Databases/Indexes/E-journals twice a semester; 50% (99 students) never used E-Databases/Indexes/E-journals. • 9.6% (19 students) used electronic classrooms weekly each semester; 62% (123 students) never used electronic classrooms.

  18. Sample Findings: Use of NLM Databases (N=198) • Seventy-seven (77%) percent (154 students) never heard of the National Library of Medicine databases prior to taking the survey. • Seventy-three (73%) percent (145 students) identified the BMI as a method to estimate critical fat values. • Fifty-three (53%) percent (104 students) identified Google as their main online source. • Twenty (20%) percent (40 students) identified WebMD as their main online source. • Eleven (11%) percent (21 students) of participants identified Yahoo as their main online source. • Sixteen (16%) percent (29 students) used others sources.

  21. In Summation These preliminary findings support our original premise that students are not aware of the massive resources offered by the National Library of Medicine Databases. Further analysis of the data will enable us to design a needs based awareness and knowledge transfer service model that will improve NLM databases access and utilization by students at Coppin State University.

  22. Coppin State University and NLM Databases A Part of the Solution NLM Databases are being used by persons trained through the UNCFSP/NLM ACCESS Project, sponsored by the CSU eHealth Project, and designed to train others. NLM on-line resources are being accessed for academic, personal, and familial purposes; proving to be an empowering experience. Coppin State University uses its role as the leader of the educational corridor for the surrounding communities (Baltimore City Data Collaborative, 2006) to partner with key stakeholders. Coppin students are being introduced to NLM in health education classes and through campus-wide activities. The VMC Model of Engagement enables an equal partnering with underserved communities which will help to ensure long term sustainability. 22

  24. The Village ModelThe Participants Engagement Plan The Village Model of Engagement is being used to increase the utilization of NLM Databases by the Coppin family and community residents. The Model is a highly structured ecological program that is termed the Village Model of Care (VMC) founded and developed by Betsy Simon (Simon, Owens, 1995 UP), and guided by the African concept, “It Takes a Whole Village to Raise a Child” (Dickerson, 1995; Daley, et al., 1995). VMC had been used in community, faith-based, and school-based settings for a number of years prior to its use as a research and program evaluative model for youth and their families from at-risk communities (seamless funding-NIDA, CSAP, NINR via Friends Research Institute 1993 to the present).
