Nutrition and Performance in Teenagers
Objective of the Program
The main objective of this nutrition education program is to
educate non-Hispanic white diabetic patients. To be specific,
the target audience is the non-Hispanic white teenagers aged
between 15 and 19 years. Most parents tend to ignore their
responsibility of controlling what their children in high school
are eating. It has made such children have much freedom but
with less financial support to make a difference they feel like.
This group has been considered to be at the highest risk of
developing health disorders that are caused by poor eating
habits. It is considered as an obese population and in most cases
it is identified with the increasing population affected by type 1
diabetes. Chronic diseases are common among patients who are
diagnosed with type 1 diabetes for the non-Hispanic whites who
are under the age of nineteen (Fertman & Allensworth, 2010).
Type 1 diabetes means the human body cannot produce the
integral chemical messenger, insulin, and sugar cannot be
metabolized by the body. Five percent of all diagnosed diabetics
are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes usually at a young age

3. (ADA, 2013). The pancreas of an individual with type 1
diabetes is faulty and will not break down sugars and sugars
into energy as it is supposed to do.
Dissemination planning for type 1 diabetic education is needed
to provide much support and up to date information regarding
scientific progress of the disease to these high school teenagers.
According to the report by the Center for Disease Control, 11.3
percent of the population over the age of twenty in America has
diabetes. This group ought to be educated on type 1diabetes
regardless of whether they know it or not (CDC, 2011). They
need to be aware of genetic testing. Diabetes type 1 is typically
caused by outside risk like bacteria that possibly attack the
immune system causing an autoimmune disorder or genetics. It
is necessary for a type I diabetic patient to have a daily insulin
injection. The patients and their families are educated on the
optimum health benefits they can get from interventions.
The target population for this study is the ethnicity of
Caucasian teenagers living in Philadelphia PA. The highest
percentage of those patients who are diagnosed with type 1
diabetes is non-Hispanic whites in this region. The patients who
are under the age of nineteen make 22.6 out of 100,000 people.
These teenagers are between the ages of 15 to 18 years. The
report on CDC predicted that this group is the most growing
population to be diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. The Caucasian
teenagers barely complete high school because they have low
income families who earn an average of 45,000 dollars on a
yearly basis (U.S. Consensus, 2011).
Caucasian is a smaller community inside a densely populated
city, Philadelphia PA. The community consists mainly of
middle, working class residents of non-Hispanic white
persuasion. The community is a tight knit collaboration of
people rich with tradition and values. An as per the latest CDC
findings (cdc.gov-2011), the population of this neighborhood
falls in the quickest growing percentage of Type I Diabetic
patients under the age of 19 years old. The residents of this
community prefer private life and they would not share

4. information with health educators. It requires the health
educators to be wise enough and win their trust first to gain
information from them.
Although the community does not have a high percentage of
college graduates, they are not illiterate. This means they can
easily understand and interpret presentations on healthy
lifestyles, genetic testing and exercise. The major health issue
that has invaded the community are obesity and both Diabetes
Type 1 and Type II. The government in Philadelphia is
concerned with dealing with Obesity and Chronic Illness.
Diabetes Type 1 and Type is not among its master plan in terms
of eradication. The CDC (2011) has made requests to the
government so that they would set apart some money to sponsor
education on diabetes to the public.
Diabetes type 1 is a chronic disease that is rapidly increasing in
this region. This calls for remedial measures to combat this
problem. The non-Hispanic whites under the age of nineteen
years are increasingly contacting this disease. The major health
issues noted among these youths include them practicing a
sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy diets. This calls for the need
for them to be educated on having a healthy lifestyle (CDC,
2011).
The unhealthy living exposes the youths to contracting this
chronic disease. The population is composed of low income
earners. They are not stable enough to acquire nutritional foods
because of such financial instabilities. Teenagers also involve in
unhealthy eating of fast foods which has more calories. This
predisposes them to diabetes type 1. Far the more, these youths
do not involve in physical activities but they prefer sedentary
lives of playing video games, watching television, and among
others. They do not know how to prepare healthy foods. These
leave them exposed to contract chronic diseases.
Interviews from the recent research of the students revealed that
most parents in the region did not have time to prepare foods
for their households. They are preoccupied in their work places.
The restaurants from the schools do not offer healthy nutritious

5. foods to their student. The community is doing its best to
encourage the teens to participate in co-curriculum activities
like being active in school clubs, sports and physical fitness
activities availed in the school. Below is a table showing the
rate at which the students under the age of 19 involve in
unhealthy living.

The Sociocultural Environment of the Audience
The target audience is non-Hispanic whites who fall below the
age of 19 years. These are high school students who are no
longer under many restrictions of their parents. They also do no
have disposable income to spend. This is the group that is
highly susceptible to contracting the disease in question. They
have been identified as the group with the highest growing new
cases of type 1 diabetes. The population numbers for Franklin
Town High School students are unique and different from how it
is in the present day schools. The administration of the school
encourages healthy meals for the students. They gain the
support of the parents to these students.
The report of CDC (2011) indicates that 18.4 percent of high
school students are physically active each hour for seven days a
week. The physical activities will be encouraged among the
students as it a way of preventing new entries of the diabetes
type 1. 23 percent of the high school students are not active
participants in the physical activities throughput the day. 54
percent of the targeted audience at least had one organized sport
they were involved in. The unity of Bridesburg will help
support the program of restoring good lifestyles to the children.
I would like to create a healthy lifestyle portfolio which will
again get the audience up and involved, creating exercise plans
that fit their schedules and meal plans that fit their budgets. The
main objective of the program will be to promote prevention of
diabetes type 1 through check-ups and testing for diabetes. The
program will emphasize in the students involving in physical
activities and preferably those that they take interest on. A
comprehensive directory of websites and contact information

7. for support systems like family doctor’s and local
Endocrinologists will be included to provide on hand
information for patients. A round robin exchange of phone
numbers will be encouraged to create a support system that will
be comfortable because of the community relationships that had
already existed.
A group discussion covering a day in the life of a healthy
person and vice versa, to enforce information that is presented
during the power point will be held. In conclusion of the
meeting, expectations of how life may change with implantation
of dietary and exercise changes will take place. A healthy
diabetic recipe book will also be part of the presentation, this
setting up a follow up meeting that will serve as a buffet of the
participants favorite recipes from the book. A summary
evaluation will be used to measure learning outcomes. Like the
summary of a book or article, there may be more than one main
idea, in a summative evaluation both impact and outcome
evaluation may be used to measure the effectiveness of a
program (Fertman & Allensworth-2010).
Type 1 diabetes education will include two main ideas,
prevention including genetic testing and living with the disease.
Once the education is completed, a summary evaluation is used
to ensure objectives have been met. This evaluation takes places
after the program has been completed to evaluate whether or not
the goals or objectives where met. The suggestions and
recommendations of the participants will also be taken to help
in the subsequent programs that might be done on the youths of
that community or other regions.
The health education program will take three forms which
include a six hour session on Saturday, the following month the
hours will be reduced to two and two months later a physical
examination will be done. This will be two hours session with
survey. The sessions will be facilitated in Bridesburg
Recreation Center. for these sessions
The use of social marketing to advertise that type 1 diabetes
education will be held, where it will be held and when it will be

8. held will be relayed. Placing the education or the product in an
area frequented by the residents at risk will allow for a sense of
comfort for attendees and will create a hub for future support
workshops. Brochures and flyers geared to draw the attention of
an older, more traditional crowd will be generated and
strategically placed. Placement is key to reach a mature crowd,
placement would be best in local pharmacies and message
boards at retail shops and markets. There should also be
advertisement on social media to bring technology savvy
youngsters into the group. Use of twitter and Facebook will
prove invaluable to disseminate information regarding planned
education processes. If word about the education is not
engaging there will not be an audience to educate. It is integral
for optimum health benefits that patients and their families are
educated early on as to gain the most benefit from intervention
so all ages should be targeted.
Nutrition Education Evaluation Plan
The education for a type I diabetic patient should be geared
towards maintaining a healthy lifestyle but also living with
insulin injections and genetic testing for predisposition to
diabetes. To implement an all-inclusive type 1 diabetic
education. The type I diabetic patient seems to need more
socioeconomic intervention with percentages of the disease
more prevalent in areas with poor nutritional habits and less
income (NCHEC, 2010). The second step in a process
evaluation plan would be to identify the audience which would
be all ages as education for children of type I diabetic patients
would benefit from early intervention regarding the importance
of diet and exercise. Education for the type I diabetic should
possibly start with pregnant females at risk for type I, the
importance of avoiding gestational diabetes. Research and
collection of information allows the best use of process
evaluation (ADA, 2013).
The target audience will be motivated to surrender their non-
nutritious foods and start taking ones which do not have a lot of
calories. They will be informed that giving up such foods is

9. basic in reducing the risks of contracting diabetes. Coaches
would be provided to enhance the attitudes of the participants
such that they will be willing to involve in the physical
activities. They will be made understand that healthy lifestyles
make them be productive in the community and the world at
large. They will therefore be obliged to take small portions of
foods that contain a lot of calories.
To instill early on to a child how important diet and exercise
will be to maintain. The second step in a process evaluation
plan would be to is to effectively communicate to the working
class population of this small community in Research
concerning the genetic involvement of type 1 diabetes and
contracting the disease makes advances every day. Once the
relationship between genealogy and external risk factors is more
concrete, plans to wipe out the disease may be possible (CDC,
2011). It is the primary responsibility of the health educator to
set the hook of diabetes prevention and maintenance.
By setting the hook, health educators must grab the attention of
the audience and set clear sights on how helpful living a healthy
lifestyle will be. Without clear case information on the benefits
of utilizing a healthy lifestyle the audience may not only nibble
on the bait but also they may swim right by it. By utilizing an
education effectiveness survey, like below, will allow the health
educator to ensure the most effective relay of information has
occurred (Fertman & Allensworth, 2010).

10. The assessments of the students will be done against the goals
and objectives that were set before the implementation of the
program. Through the assessment and subsequent evaluations,
the limitations can be addressed and all the deviations rectified.
Further improvements will be made based on the observations
of the facilitators as well as the recommendations that were
collected from the student participants themselves. The
suggestions of the parents will also be considered because they
play a key role in the lives of the students.
