I want to, I can … prevent obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease
English
Training health promoters who work with diabetics and patients at risk for diabetes. The program focuses on informed, free and responsible decision making about healthy eating and physical exercise.
Description
Workshops build health promoters' skills, providing them with tools for undertaking participatory activities with diabetic patients or patients at risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease, ultimately empowering the health promotors in their work. Psychosocial factors such as traditions and social pressure to not follow through with medical treatment are analyzed. The importance of each patient having a personalized nutritional plan created by a nutritionist is reinforced. The program is implemented in health centers.
