Obesity is a health concern that impacts diabetes related illnesses in the U.S. population, especially in low socioeconomic status (SES). Group education and public health awareness program could lead to obesity prevention leading to lower risks in the population of diabetes- related illnesses. The articles chosen were based on studies capable of effectively implementing education and awareness programs in communities susceptible to disease, specifically populations associated with obese or diabetes illnesses also examined variables engaged in implementing such programs. The general trend in youth obesity levels reflects a substantial and increasing class gap between upper and lower socioeconomic backgrounds of young people. Unhealthy behaviors such as physical inactivity, poor diet, and smoking have an adverse effect on health, the risk of obesity, diabetes, cancer, poor cognitive function, stroke, sudden cardiac death and mortality increases (Frederick et al., 2014). SES underlies three significant health determinants: health care, exposure to the environment, and health behavior. Low SES related chronic stress may also boost morbidity and mortality. Reducing SES disparities in health will involve policy measures targeting the socio-economic status elements; income, education, and occupation, as well as the mechanisms by which they influence health (Frederick et al., 2014).
