Abstract
Diabetes is a serious public health problem in the border region between the United States of America and Mexico, reflecting and by some measures surpassing the extent of national diabetes burden of each country. The U.S.-Mexico Border Diabetes Prevention and Control Project, a two-phase prevalence study on type 2 diabetes and its risk factors, was conceived and developed by culturally diverse groups of people representing more than 100 government agencies and nongovernmental organizations; health care providers; and residents of 10 U.S. and Mexican border states, using a participatory approach, to address this disproportionate incidence of diabetes. This report describes the project's history, conceptualization, participatory approach, implementation, accomplishments, and challenges, and recommends a series of steps for carrying out other binational participatory projects based on lessons learned.(AU)
 
La diabetes es un problema grave de salud pública en la zona fronteriza entre México y los Estados Unidos, que refleja y, en cierta medida, sobrepasa la magnitud de la carga nacional de la diabetes de cada país. El Proyecto de Prevención y Control de la Diabetes en la Frontera México-Estados Unidos, un estudio de prevalencia de dos fases sobre la diabetes tipo 2 y sus factores de riesgo, se ideó y elaboró por grupos de personas culturalmente diversos que representaban a más de 100 organismos estatales y organizaciones no gubernamentales, profesionales de salud y residentes de 10 estados de la zona fronteriza entre México y los Estados Unidos, con la aplicación de un enfoque participativo, a fin de estudiar esta desproporcionada incidencia de diabetes. En este informe se describen la historia, la conceptualización, el enfoque participativo, la ejecución, los logros y los retos del proyecto, y se recomienda una serie de pasos para la realización de otros proyectos participativos binacionales, a partir de las lecciones aprendidas.(AU)
