The Diabetes Impact Project: Partnering with communities and organizations to reduce diabetes burden and improve quality of life
Prior to coming to Indiana, Dr. Lisa Staten served as a faculty member at the University of Arizona where she worked with community partners along the US-Mexico border to reduce risk factors for diabetes in Latino communities. The overarching theme of Dr. Staten’s research is improving health equity through community engagement. A great deal of her work has focused on chronic disease prevention using community-based participatory research methods. More recently, she is shifting her focus to developing interventions that address the social determinants of health. Dr. Staten's current research project is the "Diabetes Impact Project – Indianapolis Neighborhoods (DIP-IN)." This a multi-year, multisector, community engaged project with a holistic approach to reducing diabetes burden in three communities of Indianapolis. Dr. Staten has published several journal articles in the areas of minority health, intervention design and evaluation, community engaged research, and coalition building. Dr. Staten's translation of research into improved quality of life for communities around the U.S. is another excellent example of how IU Indianapolis's faculty members are TRANSLATING their RESEARCH INTO PRACTICE.
