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）： 基威诺湾奥吉布瓦社区学院指导本土青年的糖尿病教育和科学项目 (DESTINY)。糖尿病的流行会慢慢地使其患者丧失能力，降低功能并降低生活质量。美洲印第安人的糖尿病发病率比非本地人口高得多，而且预防教育和生活方式改变面临社会文化和经济障碍。这些障碍加剧了糖尿病发病率的差异。命运项目的目标是 1) 改善原住民的健康态度和行为，2) 利用保护性文化知识和社区支持来加强健康/科学教育，3) 使年轻人能够积极主动地发挥其在社区中的健康、教育和领导潜力。因此，更多的年轻人将寻求科学/健康职业并返回教学/影响社区。这些目标将通过追求以下目标来实现： 目标 1：根据 K-6 年级的糖尿病模型（每个年级 2 个为期一周的单元）开发补充科学课程材料，其中包括旨在鼓励美国原住民学生选择健康的生活方式并进入科学和健康职业的内容。 目标 2：开展可复制的课外和代际社区活动，这些活动具有文化敏感性，旨在鼓励健康的生活方式选择和科学/健康职业。 目标 3：制定培训教师、学校工作人员、社区活动领导者和志愿者的方法和材料。 目标 4：通过演示、出版物和互联网发布来传播材料和模型。
