In a recent article by Lucy Candib, MD, "Obesity and diabetesin vulnerable populations: reflection on proximal and distalcauses" (Ann Fam Med.2007;5[6]:547–556), the DiabetesPrevention Project at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC) was mistakenly identified as available to clinicians forfurther involvement in diabetes-related research. There is nosuch group at the CDC. Clinicians may gain insight about thecomplexities of diabetes from the Diabetes Prevention Program(mostly completed, an intervention trial run jointly betweenthe CDC and NIH), and from the contributions of the SyndemicsPrevention Network. The author regrets the error and any confusionit may have caused.
