The Campaign

Throughout the months of March and April, bus and radio ads, flyers and posters in Durham County will encourage Durham residents to check their risk for type 2 diabetes. It only takes two minutes to check your risk for type 2 diabetes.

Take 2 for Type 2 is an English and Spanish language mass media campaign that coincides with Alert Day, a national initiative by the American Diabetes Association to assess the risk for diabetes. The campaign encourages Durham residents to take the American Diabetes Association Risk Test to find out their risk for type 2 diabetes. If individuals score high on the test, they are asked to visit their health care provider for further screening.
