• Description:
  The They Changed the World! image celebrates the courage and commitment of the American Indian participants of the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In 2001, the DPP, with 3,234 participants, including 171 American Indians, confirmed that type 2 diabetes can often be prevented or delayed by adopting a lifestyle of regular physical activity and healthy eating. This image honors the O’odham peoples of Arizona, Gila River and Salt River, who participated in the DPP. Other participants in the DPP included the Shiprock community of the Navajo Nation and Zuni Pueblo, both located in New Mexico.
