OMB approves
this diabetes case study, as amended by the correspondence of April
10, 1997. In particular, CDC will not generalize this study's
findings to the U.S. population at large and will not pay
respondents for filling out the second survey (only a non-cash gift
to respondents for filling out the initial survey and $10 to
subjects with diabetes for the laboratory work).

The burden of diabetes mellitus is
greater in African Americans than among other groups. This
evaluation will determine the effect of a community intervention to
reduce this burden. The intervention includes a diabetes care,
outreach, and health promotion component and will target the
African American community. Information from Project DIRECT will
permit CDC and other health agencies to develop strategies for
incorporating health promotion, outreach, and health care
guidelines into community health practices.
