Program Description

The goal of The Road to Health Training Guide is to 1) help readers learn how to use the Road to Health Toolkit and 2) increase knowledge and skills regarding type 2 diabetes prevention among community health workers (CHWs) in Hispanic/Latino and African American/African communities, so they are able to clearly relay the following message: Type 2 diabetes does not have to be our destiny because it can be prevented or delayed in people at high risk for the disease.
