DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Keweenaw Bay Ojibwa Community College Project Diabetes Education and Science to Instruct Native Youth (DESTINY). The diabetes epidemic disables its victims slowly, reducing function and diminishing the quality of life. American Indians have a much higher rate of diabetes than the non-native population, along with social cultural, and economic barriers to prevention education and lifestyle changes. These barriers exacerbate the disparity in incidence of diabetes. The goals of the DESTINY Project are to 1) improve health attitudes and behaviors of Native people, 2) use protective cultural knowledge and community support to enhance health/science education, 3) empower youth to become proactive about their health, education and leadership potential in the community. As a result, more youth will seek science/health careers and return to teach/influence the community. The goals will be achieved by pursuing the following objectives: Objective 1: to develop supplementary science curriculum materials based on a diabetes model for grades K-6 (2 one-week units/grade) which will include components designed to encourage Native American students to make healthy lifestyle choices and enter science and health careers. Objective 2: to develop replicable co-curricular and intergenerational community activities that are culturally sensitive and designed to encourage healthy lifestyle choices and science/health careers. Objective 3: to develop methods and materials for training teachers, school staff, community activity leaders and volunteers. Objective 4: to disseminate the materials and models through presentations, publications and internet postings.

描述（由申请人提供）： Keweenaw Bay Ojibwa社区学院项目糖尿病教育与科学指导土著青年（命运）。糖尿病的流行使受害者缓慢地禁用其受害者，降低功能并降低生活质量。美国印第安人的糖尿病率高于非本地人口，以及对预防教育和生活方式改变的社会文化和经济障碍。这些障碍加剧了糖尿病发生率的差异。命运项目的目标是1）改善本地人的健康态度和行为，2）使用保护性文化知识和社区支持来增强健康/科学教育，3）赋予青年人在社区中积极主动地对其健康，教育和领导力潜力。结果，更多的年轻人将寻求科学/医疗职业，并返回教学/影响社区。实现以下目标将实现目标： 目标1：开发基于K-6年级的糖尿病模型（2周/年级）的糖尿病模型的补充科学课程材料，其中包括旨在鼓励美洲原住民学生做出健康的生活方式选择并进入科学和医疗职业的组件。 目标2：开发具有文化敏感的可复制的上课堂和代际社区活动，旨在鼓励健康的生活方式选择和科学/医疗职业。 目标3：为培训教师，学校工作人员，社区活动领袖和志愿者开发方法和材料。 目标4：通过演示，出版物和互联网发布来传播材料和模型。
