Name of Transfer Payment Program: Canadian Diabetes Strategy (non-Aboriginal elements) (CDS)
Start Date: 2005-06
End Date: Ongoing
Description: The CDS engages provinces, territories and stakeholders at the national and regional levels in order to improve information and services available to Canadians living with or at higher risk of developing diabetes. This is achieved through community-based programming, support for diabetes surveillance systems, and collaboration on knowledge development and exchange related to risk factors and determinants for diabetes and its complications.
Expected Results: The provision of information to Canadians living with diabetes or who are at higher risk of developing diabetes has the direct effect of increasing awareness of diabetes risks and complications. Canadians who are at high risk for developing diabetes will have information to increase their awareness of their risks and will have skills to prevent the onset of diabetes. Canadians living with diabetes will have increased awareness of complications and will be provided with skills for self-management of their disease. Moreover, surveillance and knowledge development, along with community-based programming, enhances the capacity of researchers and practitioners to apply best practices to better detect, educate and counsel. Finally, the activities of the CDS assist policy makers at all levels to improve public policy regarding diabetes. Ultimately, these activities will lead to earlier detection and better management of diabetes.
