Statement of the Problem
(As We Began)
Diabetes affects ONE IN FOUR
African-American women
over 55-years-old.
SOURCE: ADA, 2005
Diabetes affects TWENTY-FIVE
PERCENT of African-Americans
between ages 65 and 74.
5
Statement of the Problem (National)
African-Americans are more likely than other ethnic
and cultural group to be diagnosed with diabetes.

adults to have been diagnosed with
diabetes by a physician.

Statement of Problem (State)




In Maryland, 9.5 percent African-American residents have
diabetes, compared to 6 percent of Whites.
Many of those African-Americans are unable to receive the
necessary health care.
Approximately one in every 400 to 500 children and adolescents
has Type I diabetes.
Type II diabetes is becoming more common in among
African-American children and adolescents.

Sources: MD BRFSS, 2002; USRDS Data, 2001
Statement of Problem (Local)

Coppin State University (CSU) and Coppin Academy High
School students, families, peers, and neighbors mirror the
Baltimore community which is disproportionately affected by
chronic diseases such as diabetes.

African-Americans in Baltimore City are 15 percent more
likely to die from heart disease than white City residents. In
Baltimore County, African-Americans are twice as likely to
die from a diabetes-related illness than whites (BCHD, 2008).

The prevalence of diabetes in Baltimore City is being
addressed as a city health crisis as indicated in City Council
Resolution number 03.1177 (2003).

Assessment of the computer, website, Internet, library usage,
and NLM awareness and knowledge levels among consenting
CSU HEED students.

Research Procedures
Methodology
Sampling
The population of interest for this study consists of a
convenient sample of 194 undergraduate and 4
graduate health education students from Coppin
State University
11
Research Procedures continued
Measures
The survey instrument was designed to gather information in six
domains:
Demographic Information
Computer Skills and Usage
Internet and Web experience
Use of the CSU Parlett Moore or other Libraries
Use of NLM Databases
Diabetes and other Health Issues
12
Research Procedures continued
Measures continued
The survey included 86 multiple choice question and 10
open-ended question testing students’ knowledge of diabetes,
obesity and the importance of physical activity.
Design
Trained Assessors administered the survey to a convenient
sample of 15 health education classes selected to participate;
course levels include 100, 200, 300 and 400 level courses.
13
Research Procedures continued
Procedures
The survey was administered from April 8, 2008 to April 23,
2008. Follow ups will be done in September 2008 and
December 2008. SPSS 13.0 and Microsoft Excel were used to
analyze data collected. SPSS 13.0 was used to construct
frequency distribution tables and the single variable analysis
approach was used to illustrate overall findings.
Descriptive Statistics were used to present quantitative data
collected from the questionnaire. Data was collected from ten
open-ended questions into Microsoft Excel and used to
measure the student’s basic knowledge of diabetes and
obesity and the importance of physical activity.

In Summation
These preliminary findings support our original premise
that students are not aware of the massive resources
offered by the National Library of Medicine Databases.
Further analysis of the data will enable us to design a needs
based awareness and knowledge transfer service model
that will improve NLM databases access and utilization by
students at Coppin State University.

Coppin State University and NLM Databases
A Part of the Solution





NLM Databases are being used by persons trained through
the UNCFSP/NLM ACCESS Project, sponsored by the CSU
eHealth Project, and designed to train others.
NLM on-line resources are being accessed for academic,
personal, and familial purposes; proving to be an empowering
experience.
Coppin State University uses its role as the leader of the
educational corridor for the surrounding communities
(Baltimore City Data Collaborative, 2006) to partner with key
stakeholders.
Coppin students are being introduced to NLM in health
education classes and through campus-wide activities.
The VMC Model of Engagement enables an equal partnering
with underserved communities which will help to ensure long
22
term sustainability.

The Village Model
The Participants Engagement Plan



The Village Model of Engagement is being used to increase
the utilization of NLM Databases by the Coppin family and
community residents.
The Model is a highly structured ecological program that is
termed the Village Model of Care (VMC) founded and
developed by Betsy Simon (Simon, Owens, 1995 UP), and
guided by the African concept, “It Takes a Whole Village to
Raise a Child” (Dickerson, 1995; Daley, et al., 1995).
VMC had been used in community, faith-based, and schoolbased settings for a number of years prior to its use as a
research and program evaluative model for youth and their
families from at-risk communities (seamless funding-NIDA,
CSAP, NINR via Friends Research Institute 1993 to the
present).
