Feedback from Community Health Representative I spoke with a community health representative at the local community center, and she provided some helpful feedback on my teaching plan. She suggested that I include more information about the specific risk factors for diabetes that are most common in the Hispanic and African American community. She also suggested that I focus more on the benefits of making healthy lifestyle changes, and she provided some specific examples of healthy lifestyle changes that participants could make.
