Figure 3.

This figure shows the cluster map for less prevalent chronic conditions (LPCCs) superimposed onto the essential elements of state-based chronic disease programs identified in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) Promising Practices in Chronic Disease Prevention and Control. The clusters are arranged in a circle, and the corresponding CDC elements are labeled next to the clusters. The four LPCCs clusters at the top of the map align with four essential elements of chronic disease programs: planning and capacity building aligns with comprehensive state plans; assessment and evaluation aligns with assessment and evaluation; data and research aligns with epidemiology and surveillance; and partnerships and coalitions aligns with partnerships. The lower four LPCCs clusters (health care policy and cost; information, referral, and support; and professional education) all align with the CDC’s intervention element. The central LPCCs cluster is disease management and coordination of care, which aligns with the CDC’s essential service of program management and administration.
