So, I was discussing my 1-day-old Johns Hopkins MPH Capstone project with Bree, and she said, oh yes, she'd worked with the "REACH Detroit" group, sponsored by the CDC, as part of her MPH work at UM/SPH. So I came home and found REACH Detroit Partnership.
(to the left is a picture of my wife Cheryll holding Bree's new daughter.)
REACH, by the way, turns out to mean: Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Life.
See this on the REACH 2005 Community Report (in English) for Detroit
which me refers to Dr. Michele Heisler's work, as in:
Heisler, M., Piette, J., Spencer, M. S., Kieffer, E., & Vijan, S. (2005). The relationship between knowledge of recent hemoglobin A1c values and diabetes care understanding and self-management. Diabetes Care, 28, 816-822.
Michael S. Spenser, UMich School of Social Work.
Spencer, M. S., & Chen, J. (2004). Discrimination and mental health service use
Dr. Jackie Two Feathers (see cite further below)
Dr. Edie Kieffer "Reducing Disparities in Diabetes Among African-American and Latino Residents in Detroit: The Essential Role of Community Planning Focus Groups", in Ethnicity and Disease
It may be that Edie Kieffer was or is the PI of the project.
The CDC National site on REACH has links to others of the 24 cities involved and a map.
and links to funding announcements (looks like a Cooperative Research).
THE Detroit site lists other articles (go there for actual working links)
