SIMPLE Church Diabetes Management Program in English
In this program, Community Health Workers (Promotores de Salud) teach people with diabetes to understand and overcome health challenges in the community. This program is 100% remote. It is designed with monthly videos that can be sent to patients each month, along with an optional monthly class held at churches. In the curriculum, we share ideas for weekly questions that can be asked to patients, which relate to the video shared that month.
Here you can find and download videos, PowerPoint presentations, and the curriculum that we use in our program.
All materials (publications, PowerPoint presentations, videos, and notes) may be used free of charge as long as they are used for educational purposes and our website is properly acknowledged/credited.
