1 00:00:02,367 --> 00:00:21,300 [music taken from the Step by Step CD/DVD] 2 00:00:21,300 --> 00:00:23,700 Welcome to The Road to Health training video. 3 00:00:23,700 --> 00:00:25,834 It's brought to

00:00:35,100 The NDEP is jointly sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control 7 00:00:35,100 --> 00:00:38,266 and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health, with the 8 00:00:38,266 --> 00:00:42,033 support of more than 200 partner organizations. 9 00:00:42,033 --> 00:00:45,433 We developed this video to help trainers teach Community Health 10 00:00:45,433 --> 00:00:49,100 Workers how to use the Road to Health Toolkit, 11 00:00:49,100 --> 00:00:51,734 also known as the RTH Toolkit. 12 00:00:51,734 --> 00:00:54,500 This toolkit is based on the Diabetes Prevention Program 13 00:00:54,500 --> 00:00:57,800 study, which found that type 2 diabetes can be prevented 14 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,500 or delayed in individuals at high risk who do the 15 00:01:01,500 --> 00:01:03,934 following things: if you're overweight, 16 00:01:03,934 --> 00:01:07,166 lose five to seven percent of your bodyweight. 17 00:01:07,166 --> 00:01:12,000 For a 200-pound person, that means 10 to 14 pounds. 18 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,433 Maintain the weight loss by making healthy food choices, 19 00:01:15,433 --> 00:01:17,867 eat a variety of foods that are low in fat, 20 00:01:17,867 --> 00:01:21,467 and reduce the number of calories you eat each day. 21 00:01:21,467 --> 00:01:24,700 And get at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity 22 00:01:24,700 --> 00:01:27,200 physical activity five days a week. 23 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,834 This could be brisk walking, yard work, 24 00:01:29,834 --> 00:01:32,033 or actively playing with children -- 25 00:01:32,033 --> 00:01:36,166 for example, playing soccer or riding bicycles with them. 26 00:01:36,166 --> 00:01:40,200 This toolkit is designed to help people like you learn about the 27 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,433 prevention of type 2 diabetes and to provide you with 28 00:01:43,433 --> 00:01:47,133 activities to increase diabetes awareness in your community. 29 00:01:47,133 --> 00:01:49,333 It provides real-life examples as well as 30 00:01:49,333 --> 00:01:52,500 hands-on activities and interactive ideas. 31 00:01:52,500 --> 00:01:55,200 These examples are designed for African American/African 32 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,500 Ancestry and Hispanic/Latino communities -- 33 00:01:58,500 --> 00:02:01,834 but really they can appeal to any audience. 34 00:02:01,834 --> 00:02:04,166 The toolkit's components help spread the word that 35 00:02:04,166 --> 00:02:08,200 type 2 diabetes does not have to be a person's destiny. 36 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:13,734 The components

are divided into three areas: type 2 diabetes 56 00:03:25,700 --> 00:03:28,834 and its prevention, healthy eating, and physical 57 00:03:28,834 --> 00:03:30,834 activity and movement. 58 00:03:30,834 --> 00:03:34,200 By the end of the video, you'll be able to: 59 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,200 explain the three main Diabetes Prevention Program behavior 60 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,867 changes that can prevent or delay type 2 diabetes, 61 00:03:40,867 --> 00:03:43,033 increase understanding of the type 2 diabetes 62 00:03:43,033 --> 00:03:46,567 prevention health messages in the toolkit,

00:04:00,100 --> 00:04:02,633 and healthy food choices, which can prevent 69 00:04:02,633 --> 00:04:04,667 or delay type 2 diabetes.
