US DIABETES CONVERSATION MAP® TOOLS
The 5 US Diabetes Conversation Map education tools can support in helping patients understand many
of the basic facts associated with diabetes, the relationship between diabetes and healthy eating, the
value of monitoring and using the results, the natural course of diabetes, and gestational diabetes. The
Conversation Map education tools can be used to supplement an entire curriculum or portions of it.
Using Conversation Map education tools, people in groups of 3 to 10 go through an accelerated
learning experience that enables them to effectively internalize health-related information and draw new
conclusions. The outcomes of this experience are better decision making and an active commitment to
life-affirming change.
Healthy Interactions’ PRODUCTS
Conversation Map® tools are health education tools used in small group settings. During a Conversation Map session, a trained facilitator leads participants through a discussion about a health theme with the ultimate goal of driving positive behavior change. A colorful visual display, activity cards, and a facilitator guide are the primary components of this educational tool.
Conversation StarterTM tools are similar to a conventional Conversation Map with the major difference being that they are used in a discussion that takes place between a facilitator and just one participant, instead of many.
Ancillary tools are complements to Conversation Map sessions. They provide a review of the major learning points of the session and allow participants to identify and track goals. There are many different forms of ancillary tools found in this catalog.
Digital tools are online complements to Conversation Map sessions. There are many digital tools, ranging from e-learning modules to online Map sessions to a Diabetes App. Individuals explore health themes presented through engaging narration and dynamic animation, activities challenge the participant to retain and interpret the information presented. Some tools allow a group of participants to interact with each other and a facilitator via web-based virtual platform.
The different products and product types often combine to form a larger program covering a broad health topic. For example, the Starting Insulin Treatment Conversation Map is part of a series of Maps in the Diabetes Conversations program, which also includes Take Home tools and E-Learning modules. Traditionally the Conversation Map has been the focal point around which these programs are built. Therefore, the other three product types usually correspond to an existing Conversation Map or group of Maps.
Because entries in the catalog range from the fully developed to the recently conceptualized, some products, such as the Streams of Life Conversation Map, which addresses organ donation, are not yet connected to larger programs. Nevertheless, these in-development products illustrate learning objectives and potential concepts for many different of topics.
