7- Identify community agencies
which provide support for the
Patient and the family.

most commonly affected by the disease.
Process:
1- You will use the previous
guidelines in order to complete the research paper as well the
Resources listed below.
2- You will work groups of
three or four students.
3- You will use the six steps
of public policy analyst.
In order to complete your report.
4- Each group will designate a
group leader that will keep track of the project.
5- Each group will be
responsible for visiting a hospital, clinic or community center in order to
observer or interview a person with diabetes.
6- Every two weeks, each of the
groups will be responsible to hand in one of the six steps process in
relationship to the project.
7- Once the project is
complete, each of the group will make a presentation to the class. At this
time, an

presentation of the final
Written report.
The grading will be as fallow:
A= 100-85
B= 84-75
C= 74- 65
F= 64 or less.
Conclusion:
By the end of your project, you will be able
to distinguish between the different types of
Diabetes. You will be able to identify the causes,
symptoms as well as resources in
The community. You will also be able to know the high-risk
population of getting
The disease .
