The American College of Preventive Medicine is partnering with the American Medical Association (AMA) and the Black Women's Health Imperative (BWHI) to support the development of novel approaches in addressing prediabetes among high-risk populations, with a focus on Black and Hispanic women. We are excited to be hosting a virtual session as part of this initiative.
Attendees will have the opportunity to learn from three health systems which were awarded grants on how to increase prediabetes awareness, screening and referrals of patients to diabetes prevention programs that are recognized by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). These organizations use innovative practice protocols to tear down barriers to health and address prediabetes in high-risk populations.
Attendees will also learn about addressing the social determinants of health within the National Diabetes Prevention Program, evaluating diabetes prevention efforts within healthcare organizations, high-touch coaching to improve engagement of Black and Hispanic women, and the Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program.
The virtual session will also feature speakers from the CDC, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, ACPM, AMA, and BWHI. CME/MOC credits is pending for this session. There is no cost for this session.

The goal of the Learning Collaborative is to explore strategies for clinics and communities to prevent high blood pressure among African American adults. The Collaborative is a forum for sharing promising practices, innovative ideas and lessons learned in four areas:
- Screening, testing, and referral of individuals with or at risk for hypertension
- Engage this specific patient population in lifestyle education and self-measured blood pressure monitoring (SMBP)
- Addressing social needs and determinants of health that are barriers to controlling blood pressure
- Using data to track, report, and improve outcomes
Participants can anticipate leaving collaborative sessions with new ideas to improve their practice and patient outcomes. Through the online repository of slides and handouts, we’ll create a record of successful strategies with real-world track records that are available to others engaged in hypertension management and prevention.
