Better Choices, Better Health South Dakota (BCBH-SD) is a collaboration between SDSU Extension and the SD Department of Health. BCBH-SD has two primary objectives: 1) To offer chronic disease self-management education (CDSME) workshops designed to help adults living with ongoing physical and/or mental health conditions and caregivers understand how healthier choices can improve quality of life, boost self-confidence, and inspire positive lifestyle changes, and 2) To train volunteer and organizationally sponsored leaders to offer CDSME workshops in their own communities throughout South Dakota.
This annual report provides data on the utilization and outcomes of the BCBH-SD CDSME workshops. The specific aims were to share information on the number and types of workshops offered, characteristics of participants, participant-reported outcomes at completion, and satisfaction with services provided.
