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）： 基韦诺湾奥吉布瓦社区学院项目糖尿病教育和科学指导土著青年（命运）。糖尿病的流行使患者慢慢丧失能力，降低功能并降低生活质量。美国印第安人的糖尿病发病率比非本地人口高得多，沿着社会文化和经济障碍，预防教育和生活方式的改变。这些障碍加剧了糖尿病发病率的差异。Destiny项目的目标是：1）改善土著人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）使青年能够积极主动地了解他们在社区中的健康、教育和领导潜力。因此，更多的青年将寻求科学/卫生职业，并返回教学/影响社区。将通过以下目标实现这些目标： 目标一：根据K-6年级的糖尿病模式编制补充科学课程材料（每年级2个一周单元），其中包括旨在鼓励美洲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组成部分。 目标二：发展可复制的课外和代际社群活动，这些活动具有文化敏感性，旨在鼓励选择健康的生活方式和从事科学/卫生职业。 目标3：制定培训教师、学校工作人员、社区活动领导人和志愿人员的方法和材料。 目标4：通过介绍、出版物和因特网张贴来传播材料和模型。
