National Agenda for Public Health Action:
A National Public Health Initiative on Diabetes and Women’s Health

Is the recommendation likely to have a high public health impact by
- Preventing or delaying diabetes among women whenever possible;
- Allowing for early diagnosis and appropriate management of diabetes for women across the life stages;
- Preventing, delaying, or minimizing the occurrence of complications from diabetes; or
- Providing the needed family or community support to prevent or delay diabetes and its complications?
Will the recommendation improve (or contribute to) access to and quality of diabetes care?
Will the recommendation reduce (or contribute to the reduction of) disability and complications from diabetes and improve quality of life?
Will the recommendation address primary prevention of diabetes-related burden in high-risk populations (e.g., racial/ethnic minorities, individuals who are obese, individuals with low socioeconomic status)?
Will the recommendation lead or contribute to sustainable and integrated changes that include short-term and long-term outcomes?
Do proven, effective strategies exist to implement the recommendations with available resources?

Are there sufficient data and evidence to define the extent of the problem, or evidence of efficacy or effectiveness, or does the strategy help address gaps in scientific knowledge?
Are there some strategies that give guidance at the national level?
Can some of the strategies be accomplished early on, with positive short-term outputs within 1-2 years?
Are the strategies measurable, with evidence that they can be achieved?
Are the strategies feasible to implement with limited resources?
Do the strategies provide guidance to the targeted agencies on what steps need to be taken for action?
Do the strategies reflect collaboration among various organizations?
