OH HCR33

Concurrent resolution endorsing the "Screen at 23" campaign to screen Asian Americans for type 2 diabetes at a body mass index (BMI) of 23 kg/m² instead of the standard 25 kg/m²

Directs the Ohio Department of Health to actively encourage all public and private health care providers and facilities to participate in the Screen at 23 campaign through existing communication protocols

Establishes that current screening guidelines at BMI 25 miss 36% of type 2 diabetes diagnoses in Asian Americans and that Asian Americans face a healthcare disparity with 40% higher diabetes diagnosis rates than White Americans

Cites CDC data showing diabetes is the fifth leading cause of death among Asian Americans, with diabetes-related medical expenses in Ohio estimated at $9 billion in 2017

Makes Ohio the eighth state to formally recognize and recommend type 2 diabetes screening for adult Asian Americans at a BMI of 23 kg/m², joining California, Hawaii, Washington, Illinois, Massachusetts, Virginia, and Texas
