About this video: This video was created in collaboration with 10 states funded under the CDC cooperative agreement # CDC-RFA-DD16-1603, ‘Improving the health of people with mobility limitations and intellectual disabilities through state-based public health programs.” Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, New Hampshire, New York, Oregon, and South Carolina collaborated to identify a cohort of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities enrolled in Medicaid. Over the course of the grant, the States are conducting a series of analyses to identify the cohort’s most salient health issues. Analyses identified high rates of diabetes and pre-diabetes in the selected Medicaid cohort. Based on these results, the States agreed to develop an intervention. A web-based media product was developed and designed to promote effective diabetes management strategies among persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their caregivers.
