About the National Aboriginal Diabetes Association

Since its inception in 1995, NADA has created and implemented a wide range of clinical, health promotion and support activities which include: national diabetes conferences; national diabetes resource directory, resources, web links, diabetes presentations and public service announcements in Canada. A nominal listing of popular diabetes resources consists of a ‘how to’ program guide for Aboriginal communities; a Healthy Living Activities book for grades 4 to 6; the Eagle Book series which addresses diabetes prevention resource for children in the primary grades; diabetes guidelines for people living with diabetes and their caregivers; health promotion resources; NADA newsletters; NADA website and other social media portals; diabetes care sheets highlighting diabetes prevention, management, mental health, foot care, nutrition, vision care, as well as poster series targeting Youth, Adult and Elder movement towards healthier lifestyles.

Through the years NADA has worked locally, regionally and nationally with like partners to advance the development and distribution of diabetes resources and diabetes education. NADA is recognized in its work on Advisory committees and working groups in identifying the health issues and increasing community capacity to respond to diabetes by providing training to community diabetes prevention workers and health professionals to enhance their capacity to deliver effective diabetes programming.

NADA’s most recent conference, held in November 2013 was a resounding success as lauded in the Conference Evaluation Report 2014

All products produced by NADA and its partners aim to reduce the incidence and prevalence of diabetes among Aboriginal people and to improve the health status of First Nations and Inuit individuals, families and communities.

Who we are NADA was established in 1995 as a non-profit organization.

Our Vision NADA envisions diabetes free people.

Our Mission NADA’s Mission is to be the driving force in addressing diabetes and Aboriginal people as a priority health issue by working together with people, Aboriginal communities and organizations in a culturally respectful manner in promoting healthy lifestyles among Aboriginal people today and for future generations.

Our Values Our Values provide inspirations and guide our actions and decisions. We value:

RESPECT Of diversity, culture and traditions of the people we work with.

HONOUR and VALIDATION Of experiences, wisdom, NADA’s history, knowledge around us and cultural differences in building relationships.

CARING and SHARING In how we approach people, families and Aboriginal communities in our work.

NADA 2014 - 2015 Page 5

INTEGRITY In the way we strive for excellence and quality in the work that we do. We are accountable in taking responsibility for all that we do, in building efficient operations and in promoting a wholistic approach to our activities.

ABORIGINAL COMMUNITY and FAMILY Are at the centre of what we do in connecting NADA with its members and their communities.

FREEDOM To represent the best interests of diabetes and Aboriginal peoples.

Additionally, NADA has become a networking and knowledge transfer hub for Community Diabetes Prevention Workers (CDPWs) through the hosting of a CDPW Continuing Education Forum in 2011 and 2013, the creation of a CDPW Facebook site and an on-line information repository for Health Canada reports, and diabetes – related information and resources.

NADA has the infrastructures in place and the ability to leverage funds for major projects, as evidenced in the Complete Guide to T2D and DVD project (2012) including in-kind contributions and other revenue sources for hosting major conferences

NADA is the host organization for Just Move It (JMI) Canada, a national on-line campaign to promote physical activity in First Nations and Inuit communities. The promotion of this campaign supports the CDPWs who have a keen interest in physical activity and wellness to plan, prepare and promote an activity that will get their community moving as part of the inaugural International 2014 Just Move It day in North America. A fortified partnership agreement was recently signed by HNCP, ITK, AFN and NADA to carry on the promotion of community participation in physical activity and community events to ward off the ill-effects of diabetes and its complications.

NADA submitted a proposal to Health Canada – FNIHB for in the amount of $200,000 for 2014 – 2015 fiscal year.  Additional funds In the amount of $47,500 were requested to coordinate the ADI Geographical Training – Manitoba (2014 – 2015) and $40,000 for the Federal Tobacco Control Strategy, Community of Practice (2014 – 2015) for a total of $287,500.

A quick review of the evaluation recommendations appears below and Financial Statements can be found in APPENDIX E.

NADA 2014 - 2015 Page 66

ACTIVITY RELATED RECOMMENDATIONS:

The following recommendations were based on the evaluation findings.

One: Based on responses from this evaluation it is recommended that NADA Kaplan Research endeavour to provide its members and other stakeholders with the following information and resources: Associates  Additional information regarding diseases or conditions associated with diabetes  Cookbooks or food resource guides for persons with diabetes, or those seeking to eat healthier foods  Additional training and health promotion materials  Additional related information of special interest to Aboriginal people  Additional information regarding diabetes and its side-effects  Improvements to NADA’s websites to make it easier to navigate

Two: As well as the new information or resources noted in Recommendation One, it is further recommended that NADA endeavour to provide its members with more networking opportunities. This would be a particular necessity for the Diabetes Prevention Workers and other stakeholders located in small and/or isolated communities, who have limited resources to their peers.

Three: When respondents were asked for ways to improve NADA, the most frequent suggestion was that NADA representatives should have more of a presence in their communities; particularly in Aboriginal and First Nations communities. It is recommended that the organization review its current travel budget to determine its capacity to meet this expressed need and to identify the related shortfall. Discussions with its funders regarding a commensurate increase to this aspect of NADA’s budget, or a review of travel cost-sharing opportunities, should follow.

Four: That NADA endeavour to provide its resources and information in languages other than only English. This could include seeking financial support from government and other sources to translate its key resources into French, Cree and Ojibwe.

Five: Based on some of the suggestions to improve NADA that were put forward by respondents to this study, it is recommended that NADA seek to increase its budget for technology enhancements to facilitate better community engagement. Related projects could include the development of digital projects such as diabetes presentations made available via YouTube and PowerPoint, along with poster development on diabetes complications using Layar

NADA 2014 - 2015 Page 67

ACTIVITY technology (similar to Blipar and barcode) which is very interactive with cell phone usage.

Six: That NADA seek to provide its National Diabetes Prevention Conferences on a bi-annual basis. In addition, it has been suggested that the organization attempt to provide some of these conferences in other centres outside of Winnipeg. It is recommended that the organization consult with Health Canada regarding a commensurate increase to its NADA Evaluation contribution agreement and fund raising strategy to support the implementation of this recommendation.

Communities Included in the Training:

Thirteen (13) representatives from selected Northern and Southern Manitoba First Nation’s communities were invited to attend the Physical Activity Instructor Training (PAIT) in Winnipeg on February 9 – 13, 2015.

The participants were invited to apply, and were selected based availability and commitment to attend, possession of First Aid/CPR, education level, previous experience delivering group activity sessions and availability of space and minimal resources within the community, while still respecting the equal distribution across the province.

Thirty applications were received and the selection process followed. As time passed, a few of the original selected participants cancelled their application due to other training commitments, resulting in the re-selection of candidates by 3 times. The final selection process resulted in fewer candidates possessing the CPR/First Aid qualifications.

Letters were sent to all applicants. Of the 13 candidates, a total of 12 were able to attend. Of the 12 participants, 3 needed First Aid and CPR training, the latter was provided on Tuesday evening. And, of the 12 participants, only 1 did not complete the examination process.

The ADI objectives addressed by this training  Increase awareness of diabetes, risk factors and complications as well as ways to prevent diabetes.  Increase physical activity as a healthy living practice.  Increase capacity to prevent and manage diabetes.  Increase knowledge development and information-sharing to inform community-led evidence-based activities.  Develop partnerships to maximize the reach and impact of health promotion and primary prevention activities

Overview of the project:

NADA 2014 - 2015 Page 75

The 5 day training event covered the theory and practical components required to be a certified fitness professional. The course covered anatomy, physiology, applied movement mechanics, principles of training, workout design and basic nutrition. It also emphasized safety and technique.

How will the training link to the objectives

This training assisted in building capacity level. It helped participants support their community’s goals for promoting physical activity and is predicted to help community members to safely start exercise programs under proper supervision, which aids in the prevention and management of diabetes.

Participant’s Evaluation of PAIT Event

Upon registration at the event the participants participated in a PAIT Pre and Post-test session. Each participant was asked to rate their knowledge of implementing safe physical activity sessions in their community. They were provided with a Lickert Scale from 1 to 10 where a rating of 1 equaled NOVICE and a rating a 10 equaled a rating of EXPERT. See Charts 1, 2, 3 for the pre and post test results. Chart 4 represents the participant’s personal ratings on a Lickert Scale of 1 to 5 on three categories: development of knowledge, connectivity, and confidence in delivering programming that will influence health promotion and primary prevention activities:

Conclusions and Recommendations The PAIT event was a success as proclaimed by the participants who completed the training and evidenced by Chart 4, PAIT Global Evaluation. One participant did not complete the training/examination circuit and thus will not be receiving certification.

Three participants did not pass the Theory and/or Practical session. Results can be found in Table 1.  Additional training is required for these three individuals.

Three participants needed extra training in CPR and First Aid. Only CPR was provided as First Aid involves 8 – 16 hours for certification. These participants will receive their certification for PAIT until they satisfy this requirement. One of the three individuals did get First Aid Training and is now certified.

 It is recommended that the 2 individuals receive First Aid Training prior to March 31, 2015.
