Primary prevention was a theme that deeply resonated within the listening sessions. Particularly, community members provided their perspective on the need for research aimed at preventing chronic diseases. Diseases identified as priorities include heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease. Concern for these specific illnesses is a result of the experiences and even loss of many family and community members who suffered with these illnesses. There were also suggestions that exercise programs, organic foods, and natural supplements should be incorporated into the research agenda in an effort to prevent chronic disease. The Community further emphasized the need to identify and/or improve current treatments for these diseases to improve health-related quality of life.
